Olley signed for National League club Gateshead on 15 July 2018 on a one-year contract.[10] Olley, like the majority of Gateshead's players and staff, did not have his contract renewed at the end of the season due to financial issues.[11] However, he signed a new one-year contract with the club on 5 July 2019.[12] During the 2019–20 season, Olley recorded 7 goals and 15 assists.[13]
