Born in the Northfield district of Birmingham, Jackson played local football before joining Small Heath in September 1893.[2] He made his debut in the Second Division on 9 December 1893, deputising at outside right for the injured Jack Hallam in a home game against Burton Swifts which Small Heath won 2–0.[3] Once Hallam regained fitness, Jackson's first-team chances were limited, and he joined Worcester club Berwick Rangers at the end of the 1893–94 season.[2]
