Career
Macklin went on a pre-season tour of Austria with Swindon Town in the summer of 2007 when he was only 15 years old. He came through the ranks at Swindon and made a senior appearance in the home pre-season friendly with Bristol City. He then became the youngest ever player to represent Swindon at first team level, when he came on as a substitute against Brentford in the Football League Trophy in September 2007. He went on to feature for the youth and reserve teams as the 2007-08 campaign was played out, and continued working his way up through 2008–09. He made a couple of first team appearances towards the end of 2008–09.[1]
On 19 February 2010, he joined Torquay United on loan for a month before joining on a permanent basis on 30 June 2010 as a free agent, following Swindon Town's failure to offer him a new contract. In October 2010, Macklin signed a contract extension that kept him at Plainmoor for a further two-years, until 2013. Macklin scored his first senior hat-trick for Torquay and in professional football against Cheltenham Town in the Football League Trophy on 30 August 2011, in a 4–3 defeat.[2] At the end of the 2012–13 season, Macklin was one of seven players who did not feature in manager Alan Knill's plans and as a result was released.
Macklin signed for Farnborough in October 2013, before joining Chippenham Town in December.[3] He was released by the Bluebirds a month later, after missing training.[4]
After a successful 2014-2015 pre-season with Basingstoke Town, Macklin signed for them ready for the start of the new campaign. After two seasons at the Camrose, he joined Hayes & Yeading in May 2016[5] before signing for Metropolitan Police in October 2016, scoring on his debut against Grays Athletic. [6]
Macklin signed for Welling United just after the start of the 2017–2018 season, but returned to Metropolitan Police in October 2017 after making just five appearances. [7]
Macklin signed for Brighton-based National League South side Whitehawk in March 2018 [8] but announced his retirement at the end of the 2017–18 season.[9]
