Passley started his football career at Fulham and joined them at age eleven.[3] He was initially a winger but switched to right back at sixteen, as well as playing at centre-back.[3] Passley signed his first professional contract in 2013.[3][4] On 26 January 2014 he made his debut for Fulham in a 1–1 draw against Sheffield United in the FA Cup fourth round, playing the full ninety minutes.[5][6]

Passley joined Shrewsbury Town on a youth loan on 27 November 2014.[7] He made his Football League debut two days later in a 1–0 win over Burton Albion at New Meadow.[8] Despite being ever-present for the duration of his loan period, he returned to his parent club when his loan deal ended on 5 January 2015.[9]

On 29 January 2015, Passley joined Portsmouth on an initial one-month youth loan.[10] He made his Portsmouth debut two days later, playing 90 minutes in a 0–0 draw at Wycombe Wanderers.[11] During his run of first team games, he helped the club achieve three clean sheets in three games, playing in a wing-back role. This was the same position he played while at Shrewsbury Town.[12] Having made six appearances, Passley's loan spell with Portsmouth was extended for another month and again until the end of the season.[13][14] His loan spell with Pompey came to an end on 12 April 2015 when he was taken off injured in the 83rd minute after losing consciousness in a defeat at Morecambe.[15]
