A Brunswick junior, MacKenzie appeared twice for Melbourne in the 1914 VFL season before enlisting in the armed forces and serving during the war.^[2]^[3]

MacKenzie was a member of Footscray's 1919 and 1920 Victorian Football Association premiership sides when he returned from the war and signed with St Kilda for the 1922 season.^[4] The South African born ruckman spent three years with St Kilda and helped turn a struggling outfit into a winning team.^[5]

In 1931, McKenzie was elected as President of the Corowa Football Club in the Ovens and Murray Football League. He also acted as their football coach in 1931, as a volunteer, receiving no remuneration.^[6]
