On 23 August 2018, Feeney signed for Blackpool on an initial two-year contract.[22] He was given a starting debut in their 2–0 victory over Bristol Rovers at Bloomfield Road.[23]
Feeney scored his first goal for Blackpool in his 66th game for the club. It came in a 3–1 victory over Fleetwood Town at Bloomfield Road on 7 December 2019. It was also his first goal since 7 January 2017, for Blackburn.[24]
On 17 September 2020, Feeney joined League Two side Tranmere Rovers on a season-long loan deal.[25] Feeney featured in both of Tranmere's play-off matches at the end of the season as they were defeated at the semi-final stage by Morecambe.[26] Following this unsuccessful end to the season, Feeney joined the club on a permanent deal in June 2021 on a one-year deal.[27]
