Both he and Everton youth team prospect, Shane Duffy, were granted a Civic Reception by the Mayor of Derry, Colr. Gerard Diver in the Guildhall in April 2009 to acknowledge their swift rise to prominence at their clubs.{{cite web|url=http://www.derryjournal.com/sport/duffy-mceleney-hope-to-emulate-gibson-1-2136644|title=Duffy, McEleney hope to emulate Gibson|work=Derry Journal|accessdate=26 August 2016}} However, his time at the Stadium of Light was cut short as the player struggled with homesickness and the club agreed to release him from his contract.{{cite web|url=http://www.derryjournal.com/sport/mceleney-happy-to-stay-at-home-1-2145972|title=McEleney happy to 'stay at home'|work=Derry Journal|accessdate=25 January 2015}}
=Derry City=
McEleney was one of the first four players signed by Stephen Kenny for Derry City following their relegation to the League of Ireland First Division, penning a two-year deal in December 2009.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/irish/8406521.stm|title=Derry sign up first four players|work=BBC|date=10 December 2009|accessdate=25 January 2015}} He was a key member of the Derry side that won the 2010 First Division title, scoring 12 league goals in 31 appearances, and he attracted interest from some English Premier League clubs and Celtic due to his performances.{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/irish/8947519.stm|title=Premier League clubs and Celtic interested in McEleney|work=BBC|date=26 August 2010|accessdate=26 August 2016}} McEleney was nominated for the 2010 PFAI First Division Player of the Year award, ultimately losing out to Graham Cummins.{{cite web | url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/irish-soccer-league/2010/1021/272166-pfai/|title=Hoops and Sligo dominate PFAI nominations|work=RTÉ Sport|date=21 October 2010|accessdate=26 August 2016}} McEleney was involved in a controversial incident in October 2010 when, 3 days after pulling out of the Republic of Ireland's Under 19 squad due to an ankle injury, he played and scored twice in a First Division fixture against Shelbourne. The League of Ireland Participation Agreement stated that if a player was not released for international duty, he could not play for his club during the five days after that duty. The FAI cleared Derry of any breach, however, declaring that "by the time [McEleney] had recovered from the injury, he was no longer required to fulfil his international duties and so he was eligible to play for Derry City."{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/irish/9096025.stm|title=BBC Sport - Football - Derry City cleared over Patrick McEleney eligibility|work=BBC Online|accessdate=7 December 2010|date=15 October 2010}}{{cite web|url=http://www.bristolwired.co.uk/news.php/99237-Derry-City-cleared-over-Patrick-McEleney-eligibility|title=Derry City cleared over Patrick McEleney eligibility|work=Bristol News|accessdate=7 December 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315200903/http://www.bristolwired.co.uk/news.php/99237-Derry-City-cleared-over-Patrick-McEleney-eligibility|archive-date=15 March 2012|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}
