Clayton made his debut for the Fremantle Dockers against St Kilda in Round 9, 2007. This was extra special being the first game of the inaugural Indigenous Round. He was given the opportunity due to good form in the WAFL for South Fremantle and Jeff Farmer, an idol and mentor of Collard, being suspended by Fremantle .

He was then selected by Richmond in the 2008 Rookie Draft, but was delisted at the end of the 2008 season, having spent the year playing for Coburg Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL), without making his debut for Richmond. After having a year away from football, in 2010 Collard returned to Western Australia and joined Peel Thunder.
