Notley made a single first-class appearance for Nottinghamshire against Surrey at The Oval in the 1949 County Championship.[2] Surrey won the toss and elected to bat first, making 491/6 declared, with Notley taking the wicket of David Fletcher to finish with figures of 1/90 from 28 overs. In response, Nottinghamshire made 213/8 in their first innings, during which Notley was dismissed for a duck by Alec Bedser. No play was possible on the final day of the game, with a draw the end result.[3]

Notley was a regular member of the Nottinghamshire Second XI from 1949 to 1955. His selection for his only first-class match followed his performance in a Second XI match a few days earlier when he took 9 for 86 and 5 for 53 against Warwickshire Second XI.[4]

He worked for the Nottinghamshire County Council, where he was Deputy Director of Social Services before he retired.[5]
