[edit] Career

Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, Ferrell began his career as a trainee in the youth system at hometown club Newcastle United, before signing a professional contract on 5 December 2002.[1] He was released at the end of the 2003–04 season without making an appearance for the first team although he had impressed for the reserve team, scoring 11 goals in 21 starts.[3][4] He signed a one-year contract with Watford on 7 July 2004,[3] where he made two appearances in the League Cup in the 2004–05 season,[1] scoring the winning goal in the first round against Cambridge United.[5] He made no other appearances for Watford and left the club at the end of the season when his contract was not renewed.[6]

After trials at Darlington, Forest Green Rovers and Hereford United,[7] Ferrell signed for Hereford on 9 August 2005.[1] In his first season with the club, he was a regular in central midfield, making 38 appearances and scoring two goals in all competitions as Hereford reached the Conference National play-off Final and won promotion to League Two in May 2006.[8] He signed a new one-year contract in April 2006 to keep him at Hereford for the 2006–07 season.[9] In his second season with the club, he was in and out of the starting XI, making 27 league and cup appearances,[10] but scored in the 4–0 win over League One side Port Vale in the FA Cup.[11]

With the return of Ben Smith, his first team opportunities were limited and he was loaned to Conference team Kidderminster Harriers in March 2007 for the remainder of the 2006–07 season.[12] However, he picked up a groin injury in his first game, which ended his season prematurely.[13] He was released at the end of the season and subsequently signed for Kidderminster on a permanent contract.[14] He made 42 league and cup appearances for Kidderminster in the 2007–08 season and signed a new one-year contract in May 2008.[15][16]

Ferrell playing for Gateshead in 2010

He signed for fellow Conference team York City on 19 May 2009.[17] He made his debut in a 2–1 defeat to Oxford United on 8 August.[18] He scored for York in a 3–2 victory over Tamworth with a shot from outside the penalty area.[19] He scored a penalty kick to give York a 1–0 victory over Corby Town in the FA Trophy third round,[20] which proved to be his final appearance for the club after signing a one-and-a-half year contract for Gateshead on 1 February 2010 for a fee of £3,500,[21][22][23] making his debut on 6 February against Mansfield Town.[24] Ferrell scored his first goal for Gateshead on 9 October in a 3–1 home victory against Tamworth.[25] Having failed to affirm his place in the team he was transfer listed by Gateshead on 20 January 2011.[26]

On 1 March it was announced that Ferrell would join Barrow on a one-month loan on 3 March, after playing for Gateshead reserves in the Durham Challenge Cup the previous day.[27] He made his debut for Barrow on 5 March in a 0-0 draw with York.[28] He scored his first goal for Barrow on 15 March in a 4-2 win away at Southport.[29] Ferrell was released by Gateshead on 4 May and signed a one-year contract with former club Barrow on 22 June 2011.[30][31]
