===AFC Bournemouth===
On 13 July 2007, Telfer came out of retirement, signing a one-year contract with [[FootballEFL League One|League One]] side [[AFC Bournemouth]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Telfer agrees deal with Cherries|workpublisher=www.bbc.co.ukBBC Sport| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bournemouth/6897283.stm| date= 13 June 2007 | access-date = 13 June 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://world.afcb.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10324~1072450,00.html |title=Telfer Joins Bond Revolution |date=13 June 2007 |website=www.afcb.premiumtv.co.uk |access-date=13 June 2007}}</ref> On 12 December 2007, Telfer cancelled his contract with Bournemouth to help their financial problems. A few days earlier, he had been ruled out for the season with a foot injury that required surgery and retired again.
 
===Leeds United===
On 8 August 2008, Telfer came out of retirement for a second time and joined [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] on a non-contract basis after initially training with Leeds to keep fitness. He signed a 1one-year deal with the club at the end of August. Impressing his former teammate Gary McAlliser who was managing Leeds at the time. Telfer was expected to act as cover for right back [[Frazer Richardson]].<ref>https://www.leedsunited.com/news/team-news/10528/paul-telfer {{Bare URL inline|date=August 2024}}</ref>
 
But after some poor performances by Leeds' centre backs, Telfer found himself playing in an unfamiliar centre back role after impressing for Leeds in the position in a League Cup game against [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]]. Telfer at first put in some assured performances, but as the season went on Leeds became very vulnerable, with Telfer's lack of pace being exposed. Most notably in injury time against [[Huddersfield Town]] after Leeds conceded a goal, where Telfer's lack of pace was badly exposed. Gary McAllister was sacked in December, and new manager [[Simon Grayson]] left Telfer out of all of his first team squads during his first month at the club. On 2 February 2009, his contract was cancelled by mutual consent with Telfer saying he didn't want Leeds to spend money paying his wages whilst he wasn't going to play.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20090202/telfer-departs_2247585_1541536 |title=Telfer departs |date=2 February 2009 |publisher=Leeds United FC |access-date=24 May 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120921030542/http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20090202/telfer-departs_2247585_1541536 |archive-date=21 September 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
