Sunderland manager Lee Johnson explained this with financial uncertainty arising from the coronavirus pandemic.^[8]

On 20 January 2021, Feeney returned home to his native Cumbria, joining League Two side Carlisle United on a short-term contract until the end of the 2020–21 season.^[9]

The following season, Feeney captained Carlisle to 5th-place finish, securing a play-off spot.^[10] In the play-off semi-final, Carlisle defeated Bradford City to win the tie 3–2 on aggregate.^[11] In the play-off final, the Cumbrians defeated Stockport County on penalties after a 1–1 draw to earn promotion back to League One after nine years in League Two.^[12]

On 28 June 2023, Feeney signed for League One side Shrewsbury Town on a 2-year contract until the end of the 2024–2025 season.^[13]

On 7 May 2025, Shrewsbury announced the player would be leaving the club in June when his contract expired.^[14]

On 17 June 2025, Feeney once more returned to his home county of Cumbria, re-signing with National League side Carlisle United on a two-year deal, following their relegation from League Two. ^[15]
