Career

Albion Rovers A centre half, McKenzie began his career at Scottish Second Division club Albion Rovers.

After moving to the right half position, McKenzie broke into the team during the 1934–35 season, making 31 appearances and picking up the first silverware of his career when the Bees won promotion to the First Division as Second Division champions.

Middlesbrough McKenzie transferred to First Division club Middlesbrough in May 1938 for a £6,000 fee.

Return to Brentford McKenzie returned to Brentford as a guest during the Second World War and made over 150 appearances. In 1945, McKenzie also made five appearances in all competitions as a guest for Chelmsford City.
