Oxley was born in Whitwell in Derbyshire and his career started locally with Whitwell Old Boys before coming to the attention of neighbouring Chesterfield, for whom he signed in 1925. In a two-year spell he played 37 times and scored 10 goals for The Spireites. He then moved the short distance to Sheffield United in 1928 and spent five years at Bramall Lane, making 116 appearances and scoring 11 times from either flank or as a centre forward. He then joined the select band of players to have crossed the city divide and in 1933 signed for Sheffield Wednesday, although with 14 appearances his stay was briefer.
Moving to Home Park in 1935, he made 15 appearances at centre-forward or on the right-wing, but did not score for the club. In 1936 he left and moved to Stockport County, where he played 68 times and scored 10 goals across two seasons. He then moved into non-league football and wound down his career with Worksop Town.
