It wasn't until Clay came to Fitzroy that he gained regular senior selection, having been a fringe player at both Hawthorn and Footscray.[2] He kicked four goals on debut for Fitzroy in 1940, againstSt Kilda atBrunswick Street Oval.[2] After making just five appearances that year, Clay played a total of 35 games in his next three seasons.[2] In 1943 he played in a semi final but missed out on Fitzroy's premiership the following year when he crossed to North Melbourne early in the season.[2]
He was of no relation to the Clay twins,Bert andIvor, who played for Fitzroy during the time he was at the club.[3]
