In September 1999, Rachel left Villa to join Blackpool on a free transfer. During his time with the Seasiders, he only made one appearance and was sent out on loan to Northwich Victoria in October 2000 before being released at the end of the season.[2]

In July 2001 he joined Moor Green and although appearing less frequently due to increased work commitments,[3] when Moor Green and Solihull Borough merged in the summer of 2007, Rachel joined the new Solihull Moors team.

Rachel remained at Solihull Moors until 23 November 2011, when it was announced he was to part ways with the club following 10 years' service. He had found first-team appearances very limited in the latter years due to concentrating on his coaching career.[4][5]
