Biography

Niall Mason

Niall Aadya Mason, known as Niall Mason, a right back for the club, appeared as an unused substitute for Villa aged 19 on Tuesday, 2 February 2016.

Mason was born in Brighton on 10 January 1997. Villa had signed Mason from Southamptonโ€™s youth team in April 2015, and he was first promoted to the first team squad by Rรฉmi Garde just under 12 months later.

Following Gardeโ€™s departure and Villaโ€™s relegation from the Premier League, Villaโ€™s new boss, Roberto Di Matteo, sent Mason on loan to Doncaster Rovers for the 2016-17 campaign.

With Di Matteo gone and replaced by Steve Bruce, Mason was transferred to Doncaster Rovers in July 2017 on a free transfer, aged 20, having made just a single squad appearance for the club.
