Farrell had an exceptional exhibition season in 1927–28. He represented Philadelphia's All-Star teams against the touring Hakoah Vienna in April and May 1927 - scoring in both matches. In July, he played against Maccabee FC and tallied another goal. August 11, 1928, he appeared for the West Pennsylvania All-Stars (Philadelphia) against the visiting Italian select side. The following day he traveled to New York City to again play the Italian team, as a member of the New York Nationals of the American Soccer League.
