Playing career

Capstick began his football career with South Kirkby,[1] where he spent three seasons before joining Frickley Colliery in November 1928.[2] He returned to South Kirkby for a short period where he was given a trial by an unnamed Cheshire League club, before yet again switching to Frickley in March 1931.[3] In 1932 Capstick was signed by Barnsley,[4] but moved to Mexborough Athletic in the same season.[5] Next Capstick was plucked from Mexborough by Sheffield Wednesday but his time at the club was short, he returned to South Kirkby in February 1933.[6]
