Born in Drumsna, County Roscommon, Notley won two Ireland caps in the 1952 Five Nations. He played his rugby with Wanderers as a fly-half, a role that Jack Kyle occupied in the Ireland side, so Notley's international opportunities came out of position, as a fullback against France and centre against Scotland.[1][2]
Notley represented Ireland in a two-day cricket match against Worcestershire in 1958 to became a dual-international.[3]
In 1959, Notley scored the drop-goal that won Kilkenny the Leinster Towns Cup final against North Kildare.[4]
