The 28-year-old this week signed for League One new-boys MK Dons after being without a club since the end of January.

Mason was released by Premier League outfit Wolves on transfer deadline day – just weeks following his return to Molineux from an unsuccessful loan spell at Fratton Park.

His time at Pompey, where he amassed four appearances and no goals over the first half of the season, was his third temporary move away from Wolves in two seasons – and his sixth in total during a career which began at hometown club Plymouth in December 2009.

It saw the former Colorado Rapids and Burton loanee start only once for Kenny Jackett’s side, while his solitary appearance in League One came as an 80th-minute substitute against Wycombe on September 22.

But following his switch to Paul Tisdale’s side, the forward believes his performances on the pitch will improve in the security a permanent move brings.

Speaking to the MJ Dons website, Mason said: ‘It’s important for me to be settled off the pitch.

‘I feel I perform at my best when I’m happy off the pitch – I’m at my best when I’m not moving about.

‘I think once I get myself settled – I’ll be able to show what I’m all about.’
