Club career

Born in A Coruña, Mackay emerged through local Deportivo de La Coruña youth ranks, but never managed any competitive appearances, only occasionally being involved in training. In his first year as a professional he was loaned to Segunda División B sides, AD Ceuta and AD Universidad de Oviedo, before being released in 2007 and joining another team in that tier, UD Vecindario.[1][2]

In January 2008, Mackay returned to Galicia, joining lowly SD Ciudad de Santiago[3] and helping to win promotion to the third division, with the club in a severe financial crisis.[4][5] In the following summer he moved to SD Ponferradina, still in division three. He achieved promotion to Segunda División in his first season,[1] and played his first match in the competition on 28 August 2010 by starting in a 0–0 home draw against SD Huesca.[6]

Mackay made 23 appearances in his debut campaign, but Ponfe were immediately relegated. On 18 July 2011, he joined CE Sabadell FC also of the second tier,[7] serving as a backup to David de Navas during his only season.[8]

In August 2012, Mackay moved to CD Atlético Baleares in the third division.[9] In October 2013, he joined Tercera División's CD Boiro,[10] but signed for Racing de Ferrol in April of the following year when their three goalkeepers were injured.[11]

Mackay totalled 140 games for Ferrol, and after their relegation in 2017–18 he stayed in the third tier, joining Real Murcia CF.[12] He returned to Sabadell in July 2019,[13] and was a starter in the club's promotion to the second division.[14]

On 11 June 2021, Mackay returned to Deportivo, now as a first-team player.[15] On 23 January 2024, he signed for second-tier newcomers CD Eldense.[16]

International career

In February 2007, it was reported that Mackay was being tracked for the Scotland national team by manager Alex McLeish.[17]

Personal life

Mackay was born to a Spanish mother and a Scottish father, oil worker John Cameron Mackay from Inverness, and had four older half-sisters in Aberdeen; due to living his whole life in Spain, he did not speak English. He was a fan of Celtic, and idolised Henrik Larsson.[18]
