Playing career
While playing for the Otahuhu Leopards in the Auckland Rugby League competition in 1990 he won the Best and Fairest award.[3]
A scrum-half, Riley enjoyed a particularly successful season with the then London Crusaders in 1990–91, when he and wing Mark Johnson each challenged for the title of leading try-scorer in the second tier of English rugby league. He later went on to play a part in a successful promotion winning season with Swinton Lions in 1996, breaking the club's most tries in a match record, scoring 6 vs Prescot Panthers, 11 August 1996.
