In 1999 , he moved to Linfield, making 63 appearances until a transfer back to Dundee in 2001.

He moved on in 2002 to Peterhead, where he made 164 league appearances.

Mathers signed with St Mirren in 2007. He did not make a first team appearance for St Mirren as he was employed primarily as a goalkeeping coach, but he continued to hold a playing registration. Mathers was an unused substitute for a 2-2 SPL draw at Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 29 March 2014, aged 44. [1]

He moved to a coaching position with the Rangers academy on 6 August 2015. [2] Later in August 2015, Mathers moved to a first team coaching position at St Johnstone. [3]
