As a player, he was a midfielder, notably in the Premier League with Southampton playing there for over a decade, including their defeat to Arsenal in the 2003 FA Cup Final. However, a proneness to injury cost him nearly two years of football but managed 261 league appearances during his time with the club. He also played in the Premier League for Derby County who he had captained the club to promotion via the Championship play-offs in 2007. He also played for Championship side Leicester City where he was the team captain from 2008 to 2011. He could not prevent their relegation to League One. He enjoyed an injury-free season when he captained the team to promotion as league winners at the first attempt. He finished his career playing for Exeter City, in League One and League Two.
Following retirement, Oakley was added to the Coaching staff at Exeter by manager Paul Tisdale in 2017 as Assistant Manager he then followed Tisdale to Milton Keynes Dons as assistant manager but was dismissed in 2019.
