In August 2022 he signed for Cheltenham Town on a two-year contract.[8] Following relegation at the end of the 2023–24 season, Ferry was offered a new contract to remain with the club.[9]

On 6 June 2024, Ferry agreed to join Scottish Premiership club Dundee United on a three-year deal from the expiration of his contract with Cheltenham Town.[10] He scored his first professional goal for United on 22 March 2026 in a 2–0 win against Celtic.[11]
