Career

Mackin is a product of the Motherwell Academy. On 13 December 2015, he made his debut for Motherwell as a substitute in the closing stages of a 3–1 home win against Dundee.[1] In January 2016, Mackin and fellow Well player David Ferguson moved on loan to Airdrieonians until the end of the season.[2] On 27 January 2017, Mackin moved on a development loan to Alloa Athletic.[3] He was released by Motherwell in May 2017, at the end of his contract.[4]

On 20 June 2017, Mackin signed for Livingston, agreeing a two-year contract.[5] He then moved on loan to Brechin City on 30 January 2018.[6]

Mackin signed for Falkirk on a one-year deal on 10 July 2018.[7]

Mackin was released from Falkirk on 5 October 2018 after only making a handful of appearances and little goals; he was released as Ray Mackinnon began his clear out of the squad.[8]

The next stage of his career took him to Forthbank Stadium, to sign with Stirling Albion.[9]

Upon his release from Stirling Albion in 2022,[10] he signed a two-year deal with West of Scotland Football League side Kilwinning Rangers.[11]

He finished as top scorer in his first season with 21 goals in all competitions. In his second season, he was injured in October and ruled out for the remainder of the season. He scored 10 goals in that time. He retired from playing in late 2024 due to a recurring injury. He now coaches the under 20’s side.
