Born inCockermouth,Cumberland, Satterthwaite played as a youth for local sidesBlack Diamonds andWorkington before he joinedFootball League sideBury in 1896. Satterthwaite then moved toBurton Swifts a year later. As astriker known for his powerful shooting, he made enough of a name for himself at Burton to be signed byLiverpool in 1899.[3]
He made his Liverpool debut away toNottingham Forest on 16 December 1899, and scored on hisAnfield debut againstGlossop North End on 23 December. He continued to play for Liverpool that season, scoring five goals in 18 matches, and scored five in 22 matches the following season as Liverpool won the1900–01First Division title. However, after losing his regular place within the side early in the1901–02 season, he moved on toSouthern League football, first withNew Brompton and then,[4] at the close of the 1902–03 season, toWest Ham United.[3]
After a season at the Irons, scoring 18 goals in 36 matches,[5] Satterthwaite joinedWoolwich Arsenal in the summer of 1904, with Arsenal having just been promoted to the First Division. Satterthwaite made his debut in Arsenal's first top-flight match, away toNewcastle United on 3 September 1904; Arsenal lost 3–0. On 24 September 1904, Satterthwaite scored Arsenal's first goal in the top flight, in a 2–0 win overWolverhampton Wanderers.[6][3]
Satterthwaite was a first-team regular for Woolwich Arsenal for the next three seasons; although the newly promoted club were unable to challenge for the First Division title, they made a strong showing in theFA Cup, reaching the semi-finals in1905–06 and1906–07. Satterthwaite was Arsenal's top scorer in both the 1904–05 and 1906–07 seasons with 11 and 19 goals, respectively. However, his age was catching up with him and between 1907 and 1910 he played fewer first-team matches. Nevertheless, upon his retirement in the summer of 1910 at the age of 33, he had played 141 matches for Arsenal, scoring 48 goals.[6][3]
