He was loaned for Third Division Doncaster Rovers in August of 1981, and then to Second Division Shrewsbury Town in October of that same year. However, he was unable to play in the league with either club and only played the four times for Vale during 1981-82. He was offered an unpaid transfer in May 1982 and was signed by Rochdale.

He joined Crewe Alexandra for the 1985–86 campaign, playing 28 league games for Dario Gradi’s side, scoring four goals. He then moved to Sweden to play for IFK Göteborg, though he played just three games in the Allsvenskan under manager Gunder Bengtsson. Farrell then switched to Frank Upton’s Icelandic outfit IBK Keflavík, playing 25 games in the Úrvalsdeild, scoring four goals. He later flew to Scotland to play three games for Hamilton Academical. After playing for APOEL in Cyprus, he retired after a spell with English non-league side Barrow.

From the turn of the century he played a role in youth development at Bolton Wanderers. In ten years he worked his way up from under-18 coach to assistant academy director. In July 2011, he was appointed as first team coach at Brentford by manager Uwe Rösler. Following Rösler’s departure to Wigan Athletic on 7 December 2013, Farrell left the club nine days later. He returned to football as manager of Nigeria Premier League side Warri Wolves in February 2016. He was appointed as first team coach at former club Port Vale in June 2016, working under new manager Bruno Ribeiro. However, he never actually signed a contract with the club or took a day’s training leaving chairman Norman Smurthwaite to explain that “…it is just not Geographically possible and it has put a lot of pressure on him, so Peter is now not going to be part of the future”. Farrell did not find out about the club’s change of heart until he heard it reported on the radio, and said “It would have been more respectful if someone had the decency to ring me up rather than leave it for 10 days”.

Farrell was signed by Dennis Butler’s Port Vale for a then-club record amount of PS40,000 in the month of November 1978. Farrell was a regular for the Fourth Division side, but was soon “snubbed” by Vale supporters. He scored four goals in just 29 games. He was the “Valiants” avoided finishing second- from-bottom in 1979-80, after two wins in the last 2 games in the season – however, Farrell was able to score five goals over the course of 33 games. Vale took home a win in each game which Farrell scored. Also, there was a manager game in Vale Park, as Butler was substituted with Alan Bloor and then John McGrath. Farrell was a regular in the season 1980-81 and scored twice, only to be removed in the hands of McGrath during February.
