Catley was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2004, which curtailed his cricket career. He survived for 16 years after his initial diagnosis, before succumbing to his brain tumour on 1 December 2020 at the Arthur Rank Hospice at Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire.[1] His brothers, Matthew and Timothy, both played List A and Minor counties cricket for Suffolk. When all three brothers played against Bedfordshire in 1999, it was the first time since the Second World War that three brothers had appeared in the same team in minor counties cricket.[1]
