Career

Masters played for Horwich R.M.I. and Nottingham Forest, before joining Port Vale in exchange for Allan Todd in June 1937.^[1] He scored eight goals in 33 Third Division North and two FA Cup appearances in the 1937–38 season.^[1] He was twice knocked out in a 1–1 draw with Crewe Alexandra at The Old Recreation Ground on 19 January; perhaps not surprisingly, he later said that he had no recollection of the game.^[1] He then scored five goals in Third Division South 33 games in the 1938–39 season, before leaving the "Valiants".^[1]
