Ellie Leigh Mason (born 16 February 1996)[2] is an English football midfielder who plays for Lewes of the FA Women's Championship. She is eligible to represent England and Gibraltar at international level.[3]
Mason began her career in Watford's youth teams. After moving on to Chelsea, she appeared 23 times for the club's development team, scoring six goals.[4] Nineteen-year-old Mason returned to Watford in April 2015, after four years with Chelsea.[5] In 2015 she was Watford's top-goalscorer with five goals and won the club's Goal of the Season award for a strike against Aston Villa.[6] She scored three goals in 14 appearances in the 2016 season, then signed for Millwall Lionesses in February 2017.[7]
After spending the FA WSL Spring Series and 2017–18 season with Millwall Lionesses, Mason signed a full-time professional contract with Yeovil Town in August 2018.[8][9]
At Yeovil Town Mason converted to playing as a defender,[10] but the club finished a distant last in the 2018–19 FA WSL after a series of hurtful on-field drubbings and a 10-point penalty imposed for insolvency. Yeovil were then kicked out of the top two Leagues when The FA rejected their purported business plan.[11]
Mason then joined new FA Women's Championship club London City Lionesses, where she was appointed club captain.[10] However, after being released by the club in 2021, she signed for Lewes on 28 July.[12]
