Born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Seemley started his career with his boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday, progressing through the youth teams to turn professional shortly after his 17th birthday in 1946.[2] He had to wait a while for his debut for the club, making his first appearance in December 1953.[2] He was part of the side that reached the FA Cup semi-final in 1954, eventually losing 2–0 to Preston North End.[3] He left in the summer of 1955 to join Football League Third Division North side Stockport County, having made 23 appearances in all competitions.[2] He was first choice left-back for the two seasons he spent at Edgeley Park making 81 league appearances.[2] In 1957 he joined divisional rivals Chesterfield in exchange for Billy Sowden.[2] He was a first team regular for Chesterfield making 77 league appearances before retiring from professional football in 1959.[2] He later dropped into non-league football with Ilkeston Town and Sutton Town.[2]

Personal life

After retiring from full-time football he worked at a sales office for a steel company in Sheffield.[2] He died on 1 November 2014 in Sheffield at the age of 85.[6]
