Gavin Andrew Mahon (born 2 January 1977) is an English footballer who most recently played for Conference National side Tamworth, where he played as a midfielder.
Mahon started his career as a trainee at Wolverhampton Wanderers, although did not make any first-team appearances for the club. In July 1996, he joined Hereford United on a free transfer, and went on to play two-and-a-half years of regular first-team football. Mahon signed for Brentford in November 1998, for a fee that rose to £130,000. He helped the club earn promotion from Division Three during the 1998–99 campaign, and went on to make over 150 appearances for the west London side. He joined Watford for £150,000 in March 2002, and would later captain the club to promotion into the Premier League. Mahon then signed for another Championship side in the form of Queens Park Rangers ahead of the 2008–09 season, following a successful loan spell the previous season. Injuries hampered the latter stages of his QPR career, and he was briefly loaned out to Crystal Palace in March 2011, although did not making any appearances for the club. Mahon signed for Notts County on a free transfer in August 2011. He was loaned to Stevenage in February 2013, for the remainder of the 2012–13 campaign.
Mahon began his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers, progressing through the youth ranks with the club and playing regularly for the youth team. Mahon was released by Wolves at the end of the 1995–96 campaign, having made no first-team appearances. In July 1996, he signed for Hereford United of Division Three on a free transfer, making his first professional appearance in the club's 1–0 victory over Doncaster Rovers on 24 August 1996. Mahon scored the first goal of his career during the same season, netting in a 3–0 win against Rochdale. Despite featuring seven times during the early stages of the season, he did not make any further first-team appearances from November onwards, with Hereford suffering relegation to the Conference National at the end of the campaign. Mahon remained at Hereford for the 1997–98 season, playing in all 42 league matches as Hereford finished the season in sixth place. He opened the following season with the Herefordshire side, amidst rumours of a return to the Football League. During his time at Hereford, Mahon made 83 appearances in all competitions and scored four goals.
