Career

Early career

Feeney joined League One side Southend United on loan until 3 January 2009 in November 2008. [3] He made his debut after coming on as an 80th-minute substitute in a 3–0 defeat to Leicester City on 6 December. [4] He signed for AFC Bournemouth on 2 February for an undisclosed fee. [5]

Feeney scored his first goal for Bournemouth during a 4–0 win over Rochdale.

Millwall

Feeney made his Millwall debut on 11 September 2011 against Birmingham City. [6] After three years with the club, he was released on 10 May 2014.

Loans

On 27 September 2013 Feeney joined Millwall's divisional rivals Bolton Wanderers on a three-month loan deal. [7] [8]

He made his debut, as a substitute for Lee Chung-Yong, the following day in a 1–1 draw against Yeovil Town at the Reebok Stadium. [9]

Millwall exercised their right to activate a 28-day recall clause due to injuries in their squad, meaning an earlier-than-expected return to The Den. [10] He later joined Blackburn Rovers on loan in March. [11]

Bolton Wanderers

On 19 May 2014, Bolton Wanderers announced that Feeney would rejoin the club on a permanent deal once his Millwall contract had expired. [12] He made his second debut on the opening day of the new season in a 3–0 loss to Watford [13] and scored his first goals for Bolton on 4 November, scoring twice in a 3–0 home win against Cardiff City. [14] At the end of the 2015–16 season, the club confirmed that he would be leaving when his contract expired at the end of June. [15]

Ipswich Town (loan)

On 17 March 2016, Feeney signed for Ipswich Town on loan. [16] He made his Blues' debut [17] against Rotherham United, after coming on as a second-half substitute.

Blackburn Rovers

On 25 June 2016, Feeney re-signed for Blackburn Rovers; whom he was previously on loan to, on a two-year deal, with an option of a third year. [18]

On 31 August 2017, Feeney joined Championship side Cardiff City on loan until 1 January 2018. [19] He made his debut at Fulham on 9 September, coming on to set up Danny Ward for the equaliser in a 1–1 draw. [20]

He was released by Blackburn at the end of the 2017–18 season. [21]

Blackpool

On 23 August 2018, Feeney signed for Blackpool on an initial two-year contract. [22] He was given a starting debut in their 2–0 victory over Bristol Rovers at Bloomfield Road. [23]

Feeney scored his first goal for Blackpool in his 66th game for the club. It came in a 3–1 victory over Fleetwood Town at Bloomfield Road on 7 December 2019. It was also his first goal since 7 January 2017, for Blackburn. [24]

Tranmere Rovers

On 17 September 2020, Feeney joined League Two side Tranmere Rovers on a season-long loan deal. [25] Feeney featured in both of Tranmere's play-off matches at the end of the season as they were defeated at the semi-final stage by Morecambe. [26] Following this unsuccessful end to the season, Feeney joined the club on a permanent deal in June 2021 on a one-year deal. [27]

Scunthorpe United

On 26 January 2022, Feeney had his Tranmere contract terminated by mutual consent [28] in order to join Scunthorpe United on a free transfer. [29]

Following Scunthorpe's second successive relegation, Feeney was released at the end of the 2022–23 season. [30]
