In 1884 he helped Oswestry Town to win the Welsh Cup and, they reached the Final, as cup-holders the following year. He was awarded two caps by Wales in 1885 (against England and Scotland). He was signed by Everton in February 1885 and made his Everton debut in March 1885 against <a href="/wiki/Crewe_Alexandra_F.C." title="Crewe Alexandra F.C.">Crewe Alexandra</a>. In the 1885–86 season he scored 34 goals from 41 games and played in six different positions. He scored 23 goals in the 1886–87 season and 15 goals in 1887–88. In the pre-Football League era he played 131 times for Everton scoring 80 goals. Farmer was 5'6" tall, he was a clever, constructive player, noted as a 'fine passer' who was capable of 'beautiful work'.
