He began playing in the Canadian Soccer League's reserve division with the TFC Academy U16 team.[1] In 2009, he was promoted to the top U18 Academy team in the main Canadian Soccer League division, where he finished as the club's top goalscorer with seven goals.[2][3] He also helped the Toronto senior team secure its first playoff berth.[4] Their playoff run ended in the quarterfinal round after losing a two-game series against the Serbian White Eagles.[5] Matheson would contribute the academy's only goal in the two-game series.[5]

In the summer of 2009, he competed in the 2009 Canada Summer Games and represented Team Ontario, where he scored a goal against Nova Scotia to help win the bronze medal.[6] Before the 2010 regular season began, Matheson played with Toronto's academy side in the under-19 Dallas Cup.[7] After advancing past the group stage, Toronto was eliminated from the tournament in the next round.[8] He continued playing with the senior team for the 2010 CSL season.[9] In his final season in the CSL circuit, he helped Toronto secure its second consecutive playoff berth.[10]

After four seasons playing college soccer, he signed with FC London in the USL Premier Development League.[17][18] He missed a portion of the season due to an injury.[17] Following his stint in London, he played abroad in the Jamaican National Premier League with Harbour View F.C.[19]
