On 8 March 2022, Jessop joined National League North side Farsley Celtic on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.

Jessop was released by Scunthorpe at the end of the 2021–22 season. At the start of the 2022-23 season he had a brief stint with Tadcaster Albion and then rejoined Pickering Town, now in the Northern Football League. He signed a semi-professional contract with National League North club Curzon Ashton in November 2022.
