Career

Sharks Academy

After high school, Fahey joined the Sharks Academy, where he played for the Sharks U19 team in the 2008 Under-19 Provincial Championship and for the Sharks U21 team in the 2010 Under-21 Provincial Championship.

NMMU / Eastern Province Kings

In 2011, he made the move to Port Elizabeth to enroll at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, where he played Varsity Cup rugby for their first team, the NMMU Madibaz. He was a regular for the side in four tournaments from 2011 to 2014, making 18 appearances.

In 2012, he was also called up by the Port Elizabeth-based provincial side Eastern Province Kings. He made his first class debut in their 2012 Vodacom Cup 18–28 loss to his former side the Sharks XV in Durban.[2] This turned out to be his only appearance for the Kings.

SWD Eagles

Fahey's next provincial action came in 2014 when he joined George-based side the SWD Eagles. He came on as a replacement in their 23–51 defeat to the Leopards in Potchefstroom during the 2014 Currie Cup qualification tournament to make his debut in the Currie Cup competition.[3] His home debut for the Eagles came in their match against the Falcons two weeks later,[4] followed by his first start in the next match against Boland Cavaliers in Wellington.[5] He made one more start in the competition against the Border Bulldogs[6] as his side finished in fourth spot, failing to qualify for the Premier Division of the Currie Cup. He made one more appearance in the 2014 Currie Cup First Division, playing off the bench against the Falcons.[7]
