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.

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. He later joined Blackburn Rovers on loan in March.

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. He made his second debut on the opening day of the new season in a 3–0 loss to Watford and scored his first goals for Bolton on 4 November, scoring twice in a 3–0 home win against Cardiff City. 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.

Ipswich Town (loan)

On 17 March 2016, Feeney signed for Ipswich Town on loan. He made his Blues' debut 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.

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

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

Blackpool

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

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.

Tranmere Rovers

On 17 September 2020, Feeney joined League Two side Tranmere Rovers on a season-long loan deal. 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. Following this unsuccessful end to the season, Feeney joined the club on a permanent deal in June 2021 on a one-year deal.

Scunthorpe United

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

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