Originally from Celbridge, County Kildare, in Ireland,[3] he played for Lucan United before making a move to Liverpool F.C. on his 16th birthday.[4]

He made his U18s debut in 2014–15. A Republic of Ireland youth international, Masterson captained the under-18s and was an unused sub for Liverpool in their FA Cup tie at Exeter City in January 2016.[5] He moved to the U23s squad ahead of the 2017–18 season.[6]

He was named on the bench for Liverpool's UEFA Champions League 3–0 quarter final victory against Manchester City on 4 April 2018.[7][8] He was named in Liverpool's Premier League squad for the match against Everton on 7 April 2018 and was included on the substitutes' bench.[9]

Masterson was released by Liverpool at the end of the 2018–19 season.[10]
