Middleton was born at Greystones in County Wicklow in September 1901, and was educated at St. Andrew's College, Dublin.[1] He later studied at the University of Dublin.[1] While studying at the university, he made one appearance in first-class cricket for Dublin University against Essex at Brentwood during their 1922 tour of England.[2] He failed to score any runs or take any wickets during the match.[3] He was capped once for Ireland in a non first-class match in 1921 against the Military at Dublin. The match was abandoned after two gunmen opened fire on the players, killing a spectator.[1] He died at Dublin in January 1949.
