Oldham made his debut for Yorkshire in the 1974 County Championship, taking 3 wickets for 7 runs in an innings victory for the team. He appeared exclusively in the Second XI during 1975, and rejuvenated his first-team career the following year. Oldham stayed with the Yorkshire first-team until 1979, and moved the following season to Derbyshire.[1]
In 1984, Oldham moved back to Yorkshire, where, after a season of more consistent batting and fielding from other squad members, he was to find himself out of the first team. He played two more first-class matches during his career, and rounded off his game with Benson & Hedges Cup action in 1989.
In 1993, the then 45-year-old Oldham played in two games for Yorkshire's Second XI, before ending his involvement with the game.
Oldham was a right-arm medium-fast bowler and took 273 first-class wickets at an average of 32.67, and a best performance of 7 for 78. He also took 240 wickets in one day competitions, with a best performance of 5 for 32. He was a right-handed batsman, and played 98 innings in 129 first-class matches at an average of 11.26, and with a top score of 50. He played 63 innings in 177 one day matches.[2]
