Recruited from Fitzroy Juniors in 1895,[2] Staniland played for Fitzroy for three years, the final year being the first year of the Victorian Football League competition. He subsequently returned to Fitzroy Juniors before playing for Williamstown in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) from 1900 to 1903. In June 1903 his senior career was ended following an accident[3] and his club raised funds to support him as he was unable to work for some time.[4]
He died at his home in Fitzroy in September 1917.[5]
