Darcy, originally from Hampden Football League club Cobden, made just one appearance with Geelong in 1992. He was traded to Footscray and played 12 games in 1993, the closest he ever got to a full AFL season.
After only breaking into Footscray's seniors twice in 1994, one of those a Semi Final, Darcy spent the 1995 season at Port Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League. He had 36 disposals in their Grand Final win that year to claim the Jack Oatey Medal and on the back of this performance was lured back to the AFL by St Kilda, although he only added a further three games in 1996 to his AFL tally.
Darcy was previously married to celebrity vet Katrina Warren. Warren gave birth to their daughter Charlotte Darcy in 2007.
