Playing career

A Chicago native, Farley played 95 games for

Fresh out of college, Farley inked an amateur tryout contract with the

Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League (AHL) on March 30, 2016.[2] He made his professional debut two days later against the Chicago Wolves.[3] After being released by the Monsters, he put pen to paper on a deal with the Reading Royals of the ECHL on April 11, 2016.[4]

Farley decided to take his game to Sweden for the 2016–17 campaign, signing with Modo Hockey of the HockeyAllsvenskan on May 18, 2016.[5] He parted ways with Modo on November 21, 2016, by mutual consent,[6] after having played a total of 19 games for the club with two goals and two assists, and signed with fellow HockeyAllsvenskan outfit IF Björklöven the next day.[7]

After two productive seasons in the Allsvenskan, Farley secured a two-year contract with top tier SHL club,

2018–19
, Farley established a depth forward role within the club, posting 5 goals and 12 points through 30 regular season games.

During his second season with Luleå in

2019–20, Farley was unable to replicate his offensive numbers, collecting 3 goals and 5 points through 22 games before he was released for personal reasons from the remainder of his contract on January 3, 2020.[9]

Returning to North America, Farley returned to the professional ranks, agreeing to a contract for the remainder of the

2019–20 season with the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL on January 15, 2020.[10] Farley instantly made his debut with the Wings assuming a top-line scoring role, recording a goal and an assist, in a 6–3 defeat to the Florida Everblades.[11] He posted 9 goals and 22 points in 27 games before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic
.

In the following off-season, Farley was traded by the Wings to the Kansas City Mavericks on August 12, 2020.[12]
