Career
Club career
Peacock-Farrell began his football career in 2006 in the youth department of Middlesbrough FC . He was trained there for seven years and after not being accepted into an official training program in 2013, he joined Leeds United after his release . There he signed his first professional contract in June 2015. On April 5, 2016, he made his second division debut for Leeds against Queens Park Rangers , after regular goalkeeper Marco Silvestri had been sent off the field. The game against QPR ended 1: 1, with Peacock-Farrell only accepting the goal from a penalty shortly before the end. The following month he signed a new two-year contract. Although he did not appear in the first team at all in the 2016/17 season and he was out of action from October 2016 after an operation due to a hand fracture, he extended his contract for three more years in Leeds in July 2017.
In preparation for the 2017/18 season, Peacock-Farrell was the subject of various simulation games. He introduced himself to the third division club Oldham Athletic with the prospect of a one-year loan deal. However, Oldham did not use this option and so the young goalkeeper returned to Leeds to compete there with Andy Lonergan and Felix Wiedwald . In October 2017, he went to the semi-professional club York City for a month and conceded nine goals in four games. In January 2018, he introduced himself to the Swedish club Landskrona BoIS , but they also refrained from signing after a friendly game with him. Almost two years after his debut for Leeds, he played his second league game for Leeds against leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers on March 7, 2018 , after the weak goalkeeper Wiedwald had previously been eliminated from the team. Although the game was lost 3-0, Peacock-Farrell received the “Man of the Match” award and in the remaining matches of the end of the 2017/18 season he remained the new “number one”.
Although he was regularly in goal under new coach Marcelo Bielsa at the beginning of the 2018/19 season , he was not in his favor. This was expressed in the fact that Jamal Blackman was signed on loan from Chelsea in the summer of 2018. However, when he was injured and returned to London in November, Bielsa openly stated that he would otherwise have removed Peacock-Farrell from the main lineup - he compared his performance to a "roller coaster". So Peacock-Farrell temporarily remained the only goalkeeper in the Leeds United squad in the senior division. As mid January 2019 then Kiko Casilla from Real Madrid hired in Leeds, he fell in the pecking order behind the Spaniard back, which Bielsa stressed the decision that ultimately beneficial to the athletic development of young goalkeeper would affect. In the summer of 2019, negotiations to extend Peacock-Farrell's contract stalled. The club could not fulfill his wish for a regular place in goal, as Bielsa continued to favor Casilla.
On August 2, 2019 Peacock Farrell signed in the Premier League at Burnley FC a contract with a term of four years plus an option for another season. It was agreed not to disclose the transfer fee, but is said to have been around £ 2.5 million, according to media reports. Of course, he was not seen as a short-term new goalkeeper in Burnley either, as he was now competing with the two English national goalkeepers Nick Pope and Joe Hart .
National team
The English-born Peacock-Farrell was authorized to play for Northern Ireland through the origins of his grandfather Jim, who came from Enniskillen . He was invited to a training camp for the national team for the first time in May 2017 and then called up in August 2018 for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and the Czech Republic. In March 2018, the U-21 coach Ian Baraclough nominated him for two upcoming European Championship qualifiers and on his debut on March 26, 2018 against Iceland, Peacock-Farrell was harmed with a 0-0 draw.
After he had developed into a regular goalkeeper in Leeds, he was again considered for the senior team in May 2018 and made his debut against Panama on May 30, 2018 as a substitute in the second half. In September 2018 he announced that he had been contacted by staff from the England national team with the aim of reconsidering his decision to join Northern Ireland. However, he rejected the English request and made his competitive debut for Northern Ireland on September 8, 2018 against Bosnia-Herzegovina (1: 2).
