† Appearances (Goals).David Farrell (born 29 October 1969) is a Scottish former professional association football player. Farrell is currently first team coach at Notts County.[1]
As a player he was a central defender starting out with English club Oxford United before moving onto Hibernian. He played in 83 league games, and made an appearance in the Scottish League Cup Final defeat to Rangers in 1993. Farrell led a nomadic playing career after this long spell with Hibs, playing for Partick Thistle, Airdrie, Clydebank, Stranraer and Albion Rovers.
After his playing career was over Farrell moved into coaching, working for Gretna's youth setup. When his lifelong friend Alex Rae was appointed manager of Dundee in 2006, he appointed Farrell as his assistant. The club finished third and then second in the First Division, failing to win promotion back to the Scottish Premier League. After Rae was sacked in October 2008, Farrell was put in caretaker charge for the league game against Morton on 25 October[2] before leaving the club himself on 30 October.
