Manchester City
Facey joined Manchester City in 2007, where he has since progressed through the academy system. He was vice-captain of the U21 Elite Development Squad through their 2013–14 campaign and was nominated for the U21 player of the year award.
New York City
Facey joined Manchester City's Major League Soccer sister club New York City FC on a season-long loan in March 2015, after impressing New York manager Jason Kreis who spent time with the club through 2014 and 2015.
He made his professional debut on 15 March 2015 as a 79th-minute substitute for Josh Williams during a 2–0 win over the New England Revolution in the team's first home match. Six days later on his first professional start, he was sent off in a goalless draw away to the Colorado Rapids for pulling down Juan Edgardo Ramírez. On 25 June 2015 he confirmed that his contract had been extended to the end of the MLS season.
Rotherham United
After returning from New York City FC, Facey signed on loan with Championship side, Rotherham United, for the rest of the 2015–16 season. He made 5 appearances for Rotherham during his loan, but failed to score a goal. Manchester City, however, recalled him at the end of that season.
SC Heerenveen
On 31 August 2016 Facey signed for Dutch Eredivisie side SC Heerenveen on a season-long loan.
