Port Adelaide (1921 - 1931)
Les Dayman started his career at Port Adelaide in 1921, after arriving from Salisbury. During that year he was a member of the club's premiership team. He played beside his brother Clem at the club during the 1920s and was used mostly as a ruckman or in the key forward positions. On three occasions Dayman won Port Adelaide's 'Best and Fairest' award and also topped their goal-kicking four times. He was the league's top goal-kicker in 1929 with 86 goals.
A regular South Australian interstate representative, he made a total of 19 appearances and kicked 30 goals for his state.
Footscray (1932 - 1934)
Footscray acquired his services in 1932 and he had a solid first season, kicking a bag of five against Fitzroy in his second game and topping the club's goal-kicking with 37 majors.
Coburg (1935 - 1936)
Following the end of his three-year VFL stint, Dayman played briefly at Coburg in the Victorian Football Association (VFA).

He returned to Port Adelaide in 1937, making one further appearance for the seniors and going on to serve the club in an off field capacity.
