Faris spent time with the Florida-based Montverde Academy before signing with United Soccer League side Bethlehem Steel. He joined the club permanently on 16 July 2018.[1] Faris would establish himself as a goalscoring threat for Steel FC during the 2019 season, scoring 11 goals; breaking the team single-season record (10) previously held by Seku Conneh.[2]
After the 2019 season, it was announced that Faris was out of contract and would become a free agent.[3] He made 38 appearances and scored 14 goals for Steel FC.
In May 2020, Faris signed a three-year contract Kristiansund BK competing in Eliteserien, the highest division of Norwegian football.[4] He made his competitive debut on 21 June, coming on as a late substitute for Sondre Sørli in a 7–2 league victory against Aalesunds FK.[5] His first goal, coincidentally, also came against Aalesund. In a 2–1 away win in the league, Faris headed home a cross from Liridon Kalludra to secure the equaliser, before Kalludra himself scored the winner.[6] Faris made a total of 24 appearances for Kristiansunds BK in the 2020 season; all in the league, as he scored four goals.[7]
On 26 August 2021, he joined SønderjyskE on loan.[8] Making his full debut for the club in the third round of the Danish Cup on 23 September, Faris scored his first goal in a 4–3 away win over B 1913.[9] His league debut followed four days later, coming off the bench to replace Emil Kornvig in the 82nd minute of a 1–0 loss to AGF.[10]
