Career

Feeney grew up playing rugby for Workington Town, before making the switch to football at a young age, after being spotted by a scout for Everton.

In November 2017, Feeney made his senior debut at the age of 18 in a UEFA Europa League match against Atalanta.[2] On 31 January 2020, Feeney joined League One side Tranmere Rovers on loan until the end of the season.[3] He made just one appearance for Tranmere, having picked up a hamstring injury on his debut.[4]

After leaving Everton, Feeney signed for League One club Sunderland on a short-term deal on 21 August 2020.[5] On 8 September 2020, he scored on his debut for Sunderland in an EFL Trophy tie against Aston Villa U21s.[6] His contract, due to expire in January 2021, will not be renewed. Sunderland manager Lee Johnson explained this with financial uncertainty arising from the coronavirus pandemic.[7]

On 20 January 2021, Feeney joined League Two side Carlisle United on a short-term contract until the end of the 2020–21 season.[8]
