Longley was born at New Brunswick, New Jersey and educated at Tonbridge School in Kent and Durham University.[1][2] He was a "free-scoring batsman" at school[3] and made his first-class cricket debut for Kent in the 1989 County Championship against Essex. He made his List-A cricket debut during the same season for Combined Universities.[2]

Longley played 10 first-class and 14 one-day matches for Kent but found his opportunities limited.[2][3] He left the county and joined Durham ahead of the 1994 season. Longley made his Durham debut in 1994, scoring a century on debut and going on to play 25 first-class and 36 one-day matches for the county.[2][3] As well as playing for Kent and Durham he played 13 matches for the Combined Universities between 1989 and 1991.[2]
