On 6 June 2014, it was announced that Fenlon had been offered a new contract but could not come to an agreement with the club. Manager Neal Ardley revealed the deal would have made him one of the club's highest earners.[7]

On 26 August, he recorded his first victory for the club in a 2-1 Scottish League Cup win at Stranraer.[13] His final appearance for the club came in a 2-0 League Cup defeat to Hibernian on 23 September.

On 28 November, Fenlon's contract was terminated by mutual consent.[14]
