Having played as a young amateur for teams in Sheffield,^[1] Mellor was spotted by Sheffield United and offered a professional contract in the summer of 1892.^[1] United had been accepted into Football League Division Two for the following season and Mellor struggled to meet the standard required, making only four league appearances for the club.^[1]

Mellow was transferred to local rivals The Wednesday in December 1893 where he spent a further eighteen months, but only managed one more league appearance.^[1] From there he moved to Loughborough Town in May 1895, whom he also represented in The Football League.^[1]

Mellor then dropped out of league football and had spells with Oldham County, Swindon Town and Wigan County before finishing his career with Darwen.^[1]
