Coffey made his debut for St Kilda in Round 11 of the 1948 VFL season. Soon becoming a regular for the Saints, he missed only a handful of matches until 1952 when he moved to Morwell to operate a newsagency. St Kilda refused a transfer to Morwell Football Club nine times during 1952 and 1953 before finally approving the request in June 1953.[2][3][4]
After several years in the Latrobe Valley Football League, he rejoined St Kilda for the 1957 VFL season. He played until the 1959 season, having played 89 matches for St Kilda.[2][3]
