Capener joined Burslem Port Vale on a trial basis in August 1898. His Second Division debut came at inside-right in a 2–0 loss to Leicester Fosse at the Athletic Ground on 12 November. This proved to be his only appearance and he was released, most probably at the end of the season.[1]

Capener also played for Aston Villa at some point before joining Burslem Port Vale.[2]
