Club career

Ferreira was born in Bombarral, Leiria District, and joined S.L. Benfica's youth system at the age of 8. On 12 September 2015, he made his senior debut with the reserve side, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against Académico de Viseu FC.[2] On 24 November, also in the Segunda Liga and from the bench, he helped the hosts to defeat Clube Oriental de Lisboa 2–1 by scoring with 15 minutes left.[3]

On 18 August 2017, the 20-year-old Ferreira and teammate Rodrigo Escoval were sold to NK Istra 1961 from the Croatian Football League, as Mato Miloš moved in the opposite direction.[4] The following February, he signed with Norwegian First Division club Notodden FK.[5][6]

Ferreira subsequently returned to Portugal, where he represented a host of teams in the lower leagues.[7]
