Joe Mason has completed a switch to the MLS, with the Wolverhampton Wanderers forward heading to Colorado Rapids on-loan until the end of the season.  

Wolves have moved to confirm on their official website that Mason has departed Molineux, with the forward set for a temporary switch to Colorado for their 2018 campaign.

Mason arrived at Molineux in January 2016, and went on to make 39 appearances for Wolves, scoring seven goals for the Sky Bet Championship outfit.

This season, the 26-year-old’s opportunities became limited, as he suffered from Nuno Espirito Santo’s ‘revolution’ at Molineux, with Wolves competing for promotion in the Championship.

Mason has failed to make an appearance for Wolves this season in any competition, and spent the first-half of the season away from Molineux, on-loan with Burton Albion across the Championship.

The forward made seven appearances for Nigel Clough’s side during the first-half of the season, scoring one goal, which came in the 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday back in August.

Mason departs Molineux with Wolves top of the Championship table, with Nuno’s side currently holding an 11-point lead at the top of the table.

The Verdict

Like many of the squad Nuno inherited at Molineux, Mason has struggled to convince his new boss, who has padded his squad with some extreme talent.

Sitting on the sidelines at Molineux following his spell with Burton, Mason has done the right thing in moving on, with a move to the MLS an exciting opportunity for the 26-year-old.
