A Hamilton Imperials recruit, Orval appeared for Collingwood in six of the last seven rounds of the 1987 VFL season.[1][2] He missed one game through suspension, for striking Jim Stynes, then returned against Essendon at the MCG in the final round and kicked four goals.[2][3] His next appearance came against Geelong in the last round of the 1988 VFL season and Orval suffered a career-ending injury, fracturing his right foot.[2][4][5]
He is the father of Dylan Orval, who was picked up by Adelaide in the 2012 Rookie Draft.[6]
