Ken Kimberley was a wartime guest player for Exeter City during 1944/45 when, as the situation eased, a number of games were organised to constitute the first football played by the club since 1939. He later played once in the Football League for Walsall.

Ken made his debut in a 2-2 draw against Plymouth Argyle in January 1945 and also played in the return fixture at Home Park in March 1945.

From the Midlands, Ken played for Cannock Colliery immediately after the war and made one league appearance for Walsall during 1946/47.
