Daly was raised in the town of Mudgee in the Central West of New South Wales and attended school in Bathurst, along with a period boarding at Sydney's Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview. He played his rugby with Mudgee-Gulgong.[2]
A three-quarter of slight build, Daly was known for his effective sidestepping abilities and debuted for New South Wales in 1907, before being called up by the Wallabies for the 1908–09 tour of Britain, during which he played four uncapped matches.[3] His appearances came against Penygraig, Lancashire, North Glamorgan and Plymouth, all in winning teams.[4]
