Ferreira grew up in Kroonstad in the Free State. He represented the Northern Free State schools team at the annual Craven Week tournament in 1976 and in 1977, when he also captained the side. After school he enrolled at Stellenbosch University where he played for the University's different age–group teams. Ferreira made his senior provincial debut for Western Province in 1981 and played for the union until 1985. In September of 1985, Ferreira moved to France, where he played for the rugby club in Marmande. He returned to South Africa and the Northern Free State in the middle of 1986, where he continued his rugby career.[2]
