He helped the club to promotion on two occasions, for the 1958–59 and 1964–65 seasons. During the 1969–70 season, in three games against Cardiff City in the FA Cup, he snuffed out the young John Toshack. He was given an eight-week suspension after being sent off against Scunthorpe United in January 1970.

Jackson was given a testimonial against Hull City in February 1970. He was released by the club at the end of that season. Jackson joined Scarborough for a short period, after which he hung up his boots and worked for the Electricity Board before retiring. He bought a sweet shop across from Bootham Crescent.

Jackson holds the record for York City appearances, having played in 539 matches in all competitions; his nephew John Pickering holds the equivalent record at Halifax Town.

He was named as York City's greatest player ever by the PFA.
