Monkhouse's first club was Thornaby. From 1949 to 1953, he played for Millwall, where he scored 20 goals in 65 appearances. He then played for Newcastle United, costing £11,500.[1] He made his debut for the Magpies in a 4–0 home win over Cardiff City.[2] Although regarded as strong and powerful, he could not displace the more famous names in his position, such as Vic Keeble and Jackie Milburn. He scored 9 goals in 21 appearances, and was sold to York City for £4,000. He stayed at York for a season, until he moved on to play for South Shields in the semi-professional North Eastern League. He became known as a penalty kick specialist and was quoted as one of the most consistent spot kickers in the North-East.
Monkhouse died in 1992.
