Playing career

McKenzie played in the Canterbury Rugby League competition and represented Canterbury.[2]

In 1947 he was first selected for the New Zealand national rugby league team, however he did not make his test debut until 1949 against Australia.[3] He had earlier in the tour played against Australia for the South Island.

In 1950 he moved north and represented both Auckland and the North Island.[2] He also played for the Ngaruawahia club in the Waikato Rugby League competition.[4]

In 1952 he returned home, joining the newly formed Marist club in the Canterbury Rugby League competition. This helped relaunch his career and he was again selected for New Zealand, after a three-year absence.[2]
