Career

Ireland

Falvey was a trainee and youth player at English clubs Gillingham and Carlisle United, but began his professional career in 2004 with Cobh Ramblers in the League of Ireland, scoring on his debut vs Athlone Town.[2] He transferred to Kilkenny City prior to the 2007 campaign for a compensation fee because he was under the age of 23, and was made club captain upon arrival. During his time playing in Ireland he attracted interest from Swindon Town, but opted to sign a contract with Otago United in New Zealand under ex-Irish international Terry Phelan, who would become his agent.

New Zealand/United States

Falvey spent one year in New Zealand with Otago United, where he was club captain,[3] before signing for the Wilmington Hammerheads in the USL Second Division for the 2009 season.[4]

He played 15 games and scored 1 goal for the Hammerheads in 2009, earning him defensive MVP honours and been selection in the league team of the season while also helping them to the 2009 USL Second Division regular season title. After the season he returned to New Zealand on a 6-month contract to play for YoungHeart Manawatu.[5] On 25 February 2010 the Charleston Battery announced the signing of Falvey to a one-year contract,[6] during which the Battery won the 2010 USL Second Division championship. Falvey signed on loan with previous New Zealand outfit YoungHeart Manawatu during the USL offseason.

Falvey returned to Charleston and signed a long-term contract on 8 December 2011.[7] Falvey eventually became the club's first team captain and a fan favorite, with the club's supporters' group being nicknamed "Falvey's Army" during this time. Falvey won a second league championship with Charleston in 2012.

At the end of the 2014 season, Falvey announced he would be leaving the Battery to join Kerala Blasters of the Indian Premier League. Following the end of the Indian tournament, Falvey signed with Ottawa Fury of the North American Soccer League.
