South Georgia Tormenta FC News Release


STATESBORO, Ga. - South Georgia Tormenta FC has announced the signing of defender David 'Davey' Mason to its 2023 USL League One title-defending roster on a one-year deal with a one-year option, pending league and federation approval. Mason was on trial with Tormenta FC this preseason and earned his contract through solid performances in the team's preseason matches.

"The process of having players trial in preseason is not always practical, but when an opportunity arises to make players invest in your club and earn a contract via this process, you can often gain quite rewarding outcomes, " Ian Cameron commented. "In this instance, Davey has shown over 3 matches and 5 weeks of training that he has the capacity to adapt to our team's way of operating on and off the field. We aim to add more attacking output from the outside back position this season and we've identified either converted wingers or midfielders to fulfill those roles. Davey's pace and willingness to overlap will be an important dynamic to add combined with his defending capabilities."

Mason's constant offensive presence helped distinguish him as one of the most dangerous players for the Bobcats. Mason is also able to make overlapping runs and create scoring opportunities for his teammates in crucial moments. In addition to his attacking prowess, Mason's tactical awareness and positioning on the field make him a reliable and consistent defender, who can shut down opposing attacks and help maintain possession for his team.

The Maryland Native comes to Tormenta FC after spending two years with the Maryland Bobcats. In 2022, Mason appeared twenty times totaling 1,658 minutes, and contributed with a goal and five assists. Through his performances, Mason was named to Protagonist Soccer's Knights Who Say NISA's 2022 Best XI.

"I joined Tormenta FC because of the coaching staff's vision for the club and its players," Mason commented. "Tormenta FC's play style suits me and Statesboro has felt like my second home since arriving for preseason in February."

Collegiately, Mason starred at Loyola University of Maryland, where he played and started in 36 games and totaled 3,201 minutes at Loyola. Mason contributed with two goals and seven assists. Mason is a two-time All-Patriot League Second Team and Patriot League All-Tournament Team ('18, '19.) Mason also featured for Georgetown University from 2016-17, appearing 21 times and totaling 2 assists for the Blue & Gray.

With the addition of Mason, South Georgia is poised to make a strong push for the championship title in the upcoming season. Fans can secure their seats at the new Tormenta Stadium ahead of 2023, with Season Tickets now available for purchase.
