Originally recruited by the Demons in 1978 Kimberley worked his way through the reserves and played his first senior game in 1979.
A hard working rover, Kimberley was capable a massing possessions during a game and using the ball wisely once it was won.
He remained with Perth for four seasons before joining the current premiers, Swan Districts, in 1983.
Kimberley soon became a vital part with the Swans and played in the 1983 Grand Final mostly in the forward pocket.
In 1984 Kimberley had a stellar season and played that year's Grand Final as a rover where he dominated and racked up a huge number of possessions.
