He signed for Carlisle United on loan on 26 March 2015,[3] snf made his debut two days later in a 2–1 loss away to Oxford United.[4] On 4 June 2015, Atkinson signed a short-term deal with Carlisle United. Six months later, he extended his contract until June 2017.[5] On 1 December 2016, Atkinson joined Blyth Spartans on loan for a month.[6] The loan was initially extended, and then made permanent when Atkinson left Carlisle by mutual consent.[7] He also spent time playing in Iceland for ÍBV, with which he won the 2017 Icelandic Cup and played in the UEFA Europa League.[8][9]

Atkinson joined Darlington for the 2019–20 season,[10] but ankle ligaments damaged during pre-season restricted his appearances.[11] He left the club after the abandoned 2020–21 National League North season.[12][13]
