This earned him the third spot on the Jamaican team at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics, but he did not managed to finish in his first race in Osaka, bringing an abrupt end to his senior global debut.{{fact|date=September 2024}}

He made his Olympic debut the following year at the 2008 Summer Olympics and he set a personal best of 48.50 seconds to qualify in the semi-finals.

He lost out on a place at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics to Josef Robertson, and Buckley missed the competition as an unused reserve athlete.[http://www.jaaaltd.com/News_Recent_Jul13-09.htm Jamaica's Team - 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090818214904/http://www.jaaaltd.com/News_Recent_Jul13-09.htm |date=2009-08-18 }}.
