In May 2012, the striker completed a move to Conference South side Welling United, where he earned promotion back to the Premier division in his inaugural season with the club.

Following his departure from Welling United late into the season, Hughes-Mason joined Maidstone United for the remainder of the campaign, making nine league appearances. [12]
In July 2014, he joined league Isthmian Premier Division rivals Leatherhead. A successful first season saw Hughes-Mason feature regularly for the recently promoted club with 21 goals in all competitions.

Continuing to feature regularly under newly appointed manager Jimmy Bullard, he recorded 14 appearances in all competitions prior to his departure. [13]

He returned to England in 2019 to re-sign for Barking, before signing for Hythe Town in September 2019. [20]
In 2020, Hughes-Mason became the manager for the newly formed Hashtag United reserve team. [21] On 19 October 2020, he made his debut for the first team as a 75th-minute substitute for striker George Smith against Clapton, scoring a goal in the 90th minute. [22] [23]
