Played one game of first class cricket for Yorkshire in 1907. Although almost uniquely undistinguished in bald statistical terms, Atkinson's career had the merit of brevity at least.

Harry Atkinson enjoyed a good innings off the field of first class play, being born on the 1 February 1881 at Sculcoates in Hull and dying on the 22 December 1959.
