Lalji was the head coach for the New Westminster Hyacks leading the team to the Subway Bowl in 2017 and came away as the AAA provincial champions. He also served as President of the British Columbia Secondary Schools Football Association. He stepped away after the 2018 season for a break.
Lalji joined TSN in 1997 as an anchor of TSN's flagship sports news program, SportsCentre (then SportsDesk). He currently covers the Canucks, Lions, and Whitecaps FC, as well as other sports stories from around the Vancouver area as SportsCentre's Vancouver Bureau Reporter.

Lalji is also a regular contributor on TSN 1040 radio and a fill-in sports anchor at CTV Vancouver. Farhan is a five-time winner of the Best Sports TV Reporter in Vancouver for 2012-15 and 2017 at the Paul Carson Broadcast & Media Awards.[2] In 2016, he was honoured at the awards with a win for Leadership in Philanthropy, due to his high school football coaching and his community service as head coach of the New Westminster Hyacks.
In 2012, Lalji was named New Westminster's Citizen of the Year for his dedication to the community, and in 2010 he was named Provincial Scholastic Coach of the Year at the BC Lions Orange Helmet Awards. In 2004 and 2012 he was runner-up for NFL Canada National Coach of the Year.
