Born in England on 7 December 2001, Will Ferry, in the prime of his football career at the age of 24, works the field primarily as a left back for Dundee United. Measuring 5'8" (1.73m) tall and 11st (70kg) in weight, he contributes to his team's defensive line sporting the number 11 jersey. A swift player, Ferry, despite being English by birth, surprised his fans by opting to represent the Republic of Ireland on the national team.
His talent is reflected in his market value, which currently stands at around £683,000, according to Transfermarkt.
The evolution of Ferry's career followed a fascinating trajectory. It all commenced in July 2016 when Ferry entered the lower English leagues, starting his professional journey with Bury. A turning point occurred in July 2019, with a transfer from Bury to Championship league's Southampton, for an undisclosed fee.
Ferry later ventured into a loan spell for Crawley Town in England's League Two in August 2021. This brief adventure was followed by a significant move in August 2022 when he transferred from Southampton to Cheltenham Town, again in the League Two. His debut season, 2022 - 2023, with Cheltenham proved promising as he managed to secure his role on the pitch in 21 league matches.
However, south of the border couldn't retain Ferry for long. In July 2024, he moved beyond the Lake District and Hadrian's Wall, settling in the Scottish Premiership league with Dundee United. He made his mark there by featuring in 35 first team league matches in the 2024 - 2025 season. As of the current season, 2025 - 2026, he has already made 20 appearances.
Adding to his league plays, Ferry has represented Dundee United in key fixtures such as the League Cup 2025 - 2026 with one start, the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 with one start, and the Conference League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 with four starts to his name.
