Lilley started his career with the reserve team of Lancashire. He scored 1,008 runs in the Huddersfield Cricket League and that led to his getting a professional contract in October 2012.[1] On 15 July 2013, he made his First Class debut against Glamorgan.[2]

On 5 September 2013, he was fined £100 by the Drakes League for disciplinary problems. He was given a one-week ban, suspended for a year.[3]
