Clingly played mainly at either centre half forward or centre half back. He was West Torrens's leading goal-kicker three times during his career and was voted best afield from the back pocket in their 1953 premiership team. In a game against Glenelg, in 1956, Clingly kicked 12 goals and became the last player in the league to use the place kick.
His five first-class cricket matches for South Australia were spent as a left-arm medium-pacer. He took nine wickets at 54.33 with a best of 3 for 15 against Queensland at the Adelaide Oval.[1]
On 16 August 2004, Clingly died after suffering a heart attack.
