He captained Corofin to the club's second All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship title in 2015.[2] He also had central roles in Corofin's run of three consecutive All-Ireland Club SFC titles from 2018 until 2020, scoring a goal in the first final to help his team to its third title,[3] before being sent off in the third final when the club claimed its fifth title.[4]
In 2010, he was based in Melbourne, where he played Australian rules football for Grovedale, and he also visited the Gold Coast.[5] In 2011, he won an All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship with Galway.[6][7] He played for the Galway senior team during Kevin Walsh's time as manager, and maintained his presence when Pádraic Joyce succeeded Walsh.[1] In 2019, he played for the McBride's club in Chicago, before returning to Corofin.[5]
Farragher's brother Martin also plays for Corofin and Galway.[1][8] Both Farraghers are forwards.[1][9]
