Stanley started playing at Helston RFC, aged seven, near Cornwall, England before switching to football two years later. But at 12, he returned to rugby, joining Cornish Pirates in their junior academy where he was selected for England South U16s at the Wellington Festival.[1] He then became a part of Exeter Chiefs academy, where he was dual-registered for Rotherham Titans for professional development. He made his debut for Exeter Chiefs in the Anglo-Welsh Cup defeating Gloucester 28-27 back in November 2014.[2]

He was selected for England U18s for their development tour in South Africa.[3] He then went on to play for England U20s during the 2016-17 season.

Stanley signed for Scotland capital Edinburgh in the Pro 14 after a successful trial for the remainder of the 2018-19 season, where he gained game time for partner club Watsonian in the Super 6. He extended his contract for a further season for the 2019-20 season.[4] However, on 3 March 2020, Stanley left Edinburgh with immediate effect to sign for Gloucester in the Premiership Rugby during the 2018-19 season.[5] He made his debut from off the bench for Gloucester against local rivals Worcester Warriors on 15 August 2020 during the resumption of the 2019–20 Premiership Rugby season.[6]
