Will Ferry, born on 7th December 2001 (now 24 years of age), is considered an all-round, defensive football talent hailing from England. Standing at a height of 1.73 metres (approximately 5ft 8in), and weighing in at 70 kilograms (approximately 11st), Ferry cuts a lean, athletic figure on the field. Specially known for his stints as a left back, his skills have made a significant impact at Dundee United, where he dawns the number 11 jersey.
Internationally, he has had the opportunity to represent the Republic of Ireland national team, solidifying his professional footballing status. As of today, his estimated market value is pegged at around €800k (£680k), as pointed out by the well-regarded sports analytics platform, Transfermarkt.
Let's take a minute to follow his footballing journey. In July 2016, at a fairly young age, Ferry made his entry into professional football at Bury, a club in the lower leagues in his homeland, England. He spent a good part of his developmental years here before he was transferred to Southampton, which competes in England's Championship league, in July 2019. The transfer fee, however, continues to remain undisclosed.
In August 2021, he was briefly loaned to Crawley Town, who ply their trade in England's League Two. Following his stint there, he moved to Cheltenham Town in August 2022. Again, the English League Two side signed him for an undisclosed fee. His debut season with Cheltenham Town saw him make a significant impact, with Ferry notching up 21-first-team appearances in league matches.
In a twist of fate in July 2024, Will Ferry parted ways with the English Leagues and moved north to Dundee United, playing in the Scottish Premiership. The 2024-25 season saw Ferry establish himself as a vital cog in their playing eleven, racking up 35 appearances in top-tier league matches. Since then, he continued to impress in the current 2025-26 season, making additional 18 first-team showings in the league so far. Apart from this, he has also participated in the League Cup 2025-26 for Dundee United and the Conference League Qualifiers 2025-26 for the same club, accumulating one and four starts in the respective tournaments.
Even though he has not had the fortune of donning the green and white hoops of Celtic, his career trajectory nevertheless tells the story of a player whose skills have garnered recognition in a multitude of platforms and leagues.
