In 1988, Fenerty fell just short of the magic thousand yard mark rushing with 968, but still won both East and CFL All-Stars again. Ironically, his best season in 1989 with 1247 yards rushing netted him only an East All-Star.

Fenerty returned to the CFL for a short two game stint with the expansion Shreveport Pirates in 1994.
