Born and raised in Scotland, Jackson, and his brother Alex, both played professionally. In 1920, Jackson began his career with Kilmarnock F.C. of the Scottish Football League. In 1923, while visiting relatives in Detroit, Michigan, he came to the attention Bethlehem Steel F.C. who had recently lost center forward Daniel McNiven to the New York Field Club. The team tracked down Jackson in Michigan and offered him $25.00 per week to play for Bethlehem. This was nearly triple his salary in Scotland and on August 25, 1923, signed with the Steelmen.
