Born in Brisbane, Oliver raced in Britain in 2003 for a short spell at Mildenhall then moved onto Carmarthen and Buxton, before moving to Boston the following year.[2] After returning to Australia he rode in 2006 for King's Lynn, although his career was hampered by a broken thigh bone in early 2007.[2] He had a successful season for King's Lynn on his return but suffered a broken collar bone in September 2008.[2] He again returned to Australia, but joined Premier League team Leicester Lions for the 2011 season, on loan from King's Lynn, later completing a full transfer.[3] In August 2011 he was released by Leicester, moving to Scunthorpe SaintsNational League team.
His 2011 season was ended by a crash on his home debut at Scunthorpe in which he broke both ankles and two vertebrae.[4] He subsequently retired from speedway.
