Club career

Gombak United
Fareez began his footballing career with Gombak United in 2011. The teenage forward became the youngest player since Hariss Harun to make his debut in the S.League against Albirex Niigata (S) on 11 April 2011, coming on for South Korean striker Chang Jo-Yoon in the 88th minute. He was then the second youngest player to play in the S.League at 16 years 7 months and 13 days. He scored his first league goal in the 2-1 defeat against Singapore Armed Forces on 25 June 2011.

In February 2011, Fareez's father contacted Serbian coach Luka Lalic who arranged a six-week-long trial for the player at Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb. Dinamo Zagreb wanted to keep Fareez, but were unable to sign him under new FIFA regulations in the wake of Chelsea's alleged tapping-up of French youngster Gael Kakuta in 2009.

Hougang United

Geylang International
For the 2019 AIA Singapore Premier League season, Geylang announced that Fareez had signed for Geylang International. He made his debut in a 1-0 win over Albirex Niigata Singapore.
