Ahead of the 2020-21 Elite League season, Ferrara originally agreed a new two-year deal to remain in Coventry. However, following the suspension of the 2020-21 Elite League campaign, he was allowed to seek opportunities elsewhere.[1][2]

The forward subsequently agreed an initial one-month contract in October 2020 with French Ligue Magnus side Boxers de Bordeaux.[3] However he left upon the expiration of that deal in November.[4]

On 29 November 2020 Ferrara moved to Polska Hokej Liga side Cracovia Krakow on a deal until the end of the season.[5][6]

He represented Great Britain at the 2019 IIHF World Championship.[7]

Ferrara's older brothers Robert and James are both former hockey players. They last played for NIHL side Peterborough Phantoms before retiring at the end of the 2019/20 season.[8][9][10]
