Playing career[]
Canberra Raiders[]
Massey played for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the 2010 Toyota Cup.
Massey debuted at fullback for Canberra in round 9 of the 2011 National Rugby League season against Manly-Warringah following an injury to Josh Dugan, the regular fullback.
International[]
Massey has Scotland heritage so he was able to represent the Scottish national team. Scotland's coach Steve McCormack was aware of this and he therefore picked Massey to be a part of his squad in the 2014 European Cup competition.
