By far the largest part of his career — more than 300 matches — was spent playing for Enfield in the Lancashire League between 1950 and 1968 and captaining them between 1956 and 1963, although in 1949 he had made a single appearance for Accrington.[1]

Riley appeared just once in first-class cricket, playing for Worcestershire against Cambridge University at Fenner's in May 1953, taking 3-25 in Cambridge's first innings.[2].
