Delaney began his professional career with the Parramatta Eels. He scored a try on his first grade début against the St George Illawarra Dragons in 2005. He went on to make 18 appearances in total for the Eels, scoring 4 tries.
Gold Coast Titans
After limited opportunities at the Eels, Delaney joined the newly formed club the Gold Coast Titans for the 2007 season. Delaney scored 14 tries in 62 games during his three seasons with the Titans. In 2009, his final season at the club, he helped the team finish in 3rd place in the regular season ladder, which meant the Titans qualified for the play-offs for the first time. Unfortunately for Delaney, a hamstring injury meant he missed the end of the season. He watched from the stands as the Titans crashed out of the play-offs, 27-2 to eventual finalists, & former club, the Parramatta Eels.
