Career
[edit | edit source]Ferrara began his career with the Peterborough Phantoms, before playing one Elite League game with Cardiff Devils during the 2012–13 season. He joined Sheffield Steelers ahead of the 2014–15 season, moving to Coventry in 2017.
Ahead of the 2020-21 Elite League season, Ferrara originally agreed a new two-year deal to remain in Coventry. However, following the suspension of the 2020-21 Elite League campaign, he was allowed to seek opportunities elsewhere.[7][8]
The forward subsequently agreed an initial one-month contract in October 2020 with French Ligue Magnus side Boxers de Bordeaux.[9] However he left upon the expiration of that deal in November.[10]
On 29 November 2020 Ferrara moved to Polska Hokej Liga side Cracovia Krakow on a deal until the end of the season.[11][12]
Ferrara returned to Coventry to take part in the 2021 'Elite Series'.[13] He later returned to Coventry for the 2021-22 Elite League season.
In June 2022, Ferrara left Coventry after the best part of five years with the team, switching to fellow Elite League side Nottingham Panthers for the 2022-23 season.[14][15]
In June 2023, Ferrara rejoined hometown club Peterborough Phantoms.[16]
