Faherty made his senior debut in 2008 during the league against Laois but never got his championship start until 2009 where they faced Sligo which proved a tight game but Galway got a 1-13 to 0-12 win to advance to the Connacht final.[citation needed]
On 19 July 2009 Galway faced (and were defeated by) Mayo. Galway faced Donegal in Round 4 of the All-Ireland qualifiers with Faherty in goal; however, Donegal ended Galway's campaign by knocking them out of the Championship.[citation needed]
He also played for Salthill Devon in the League of Ireland First Division.[2]
He emigrated to London and wasn't involved with Galway for the 2013 season.[citation needed]
