Career
Mackrill joined
Bradford Park Avenue in the summer of 1913 and remained with them until the outbreak of war, though failed to make the first team. He spent the war years playing for Rotherham County
.
He joined
the Football League. However, he played just once before moving to Halifax Town later that year. Halifax were elected to the football league in 1921 and Mackrill played in their first ever league game, a 2–0 defeat away to eventual runners-up Darlington
on 27 August 1921.
He played 57 league games for Halifax before leaving at the end of the 1922–23 season to join Pontypridd, where he spent two years before joining
Football League, Torquay winning election in place of Aberdare Athletic
.
He left himself out of the starting line-up at the beginning of Torquay's first league season, preferring to play
Division Three (South)
and he left in March 1929 with United struggling near the foot of the table once more.
