Career

Brentford

Ferry began his youth career at Brentford and captained the Bees' U15 team during the 2012 Milk Cup, leading the side to victory in the Junior category.[4] Despite missing much of the 2012–13 season with injury, he signed a scholarship deal in May 2013.[5] He made 33 appearances and scored six goals during his two seasons as a scholar and captained the youth team to the 2014–15 Professional U18 Development League 2 Final.[6][7][8]

Ferry signed a one-year Development Squad contract in June 2015 and began the 2015–16 season as a near ever-present in the Professional U21 Development League 2 South,[4] impressing enough to sign a new one-year contract extension in November 2015.[9] After two spells away on loan, Ferry received his maiden call into the first team squad for a Championship match versus Ipswich Town on 9 April 2016, but remained an unused substitute during the 3–1 victory.[3] He was a regular in the B team during the 2016–17 season and helped the team to win the Kai Thor Cup,[10] but failed to win any further first team call ups before departing Griffin Park in May 2017.[11]

Wycombe Wanderers (loan)

On 26 November 2015, Ferry joined League Two club Wycombe Wanderers on a one-month loan,[12] but failed to win a call into a squad before his loan expired.[13]

Welling United (loan)

Ferry joined National League strugglers Welling United on a one-month loan on 28 January 2016.[14] He made the first senior appearance of his career two days later, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–1 draw with Halifax Town.[15] Ferry made six further appearances before his loan expired.[15]

Stevenage

After a successful trial, Ferry joined League Two club Stevenage for an undisclosed fee on 12 May 2017.[16] He made his debut as a half time substitute for Jonathan Smith during a 6–2 EFL Trophy group stage defeat to Oxford United on 29 August 2017.[17] Ferry made two further EFL Trophy appearances before departing on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 season on 15 December 2017.[18] He made the first EFL appearance of his career as a substitute for James Ball after 53 minutes of a 2–2 draw with Tranmere Rovers on the opening day of the 2018–19 season.[19]

Nuneaton Town (loan)

On 15 December 2017, Ferry joined National League North club Nuneaton Town on a one-month loan,[20] which was later extended until the end of the season.[18] He made his debut with a start in a 3–0 defeat to Kidderminster Harriers on eight days later.[3] On 27 February 2018, Ferry scored the first senior goal of his career with the opener in a 2–1 victory over A.F.C. Telford United.[3] He finished his spell with 22 appearances and two goals.[3]
