Gareth Farrelly (born August 28, 1975 in Dublin) is an Irish footballer, currently playing with Cork City FC.
Farrelly played his schoolboy football with Home Farm. Aston Villa signed him as a 16-year-old in 1992, and he made his Villa début in September 1995. He moved to Everton in July 1997 for approximately £700,000, scoring the goal that preserved their Premiership status on the final day of the 1997/98 season. However, he was soon on the move to Bolton, initially on loan. He won promotion back to the Premiership with Bolton in 2001 (scoring the opening goal for them in the 2001 Play Off Fina1), but then fell out of favour. He was subsequently loaned out to Rotherham, Burnley, Bradford, and latterly Wigan. He made his full international début for Ireland as a 21-year-old, and has six caps.
Farrelly joined Bohemian in late August 2004 as player-manager, making his début as a late substitute in the 1-0 home win v Cork City on 17 September 2004.
He was sacked on 30 August 2006 following Bohemian's elimination from the FAI Cup at the hands of Shamrock Rovers, in which he missed a penalty late in the game. The result proved to be the last straw with a club who had failed to progress under Farrelly's reign.
Farrelly then had a short spell with Leicester City. He left the Foxes after they ended their interest in him.
On November 24, 2006, he joined Blackpool on a short-term contract, which expired in February 2007.
On February 15, 2007, he agreed to sign for eircom League of Ireland Premier Division side Cork City on a two-year contract.
