Club career[edit]

West Bromwich Albion[edit]

Ferguson joined West Bromwich Albion at the age of 8.[4] On 21 December 2017, he signed his first professional contract with the club, a deal which secured his Hawthorns future until the summer of 2020.[5]

He made his professional debut on 3 August 2019 as a starter in Albion’s opening day 2–1 victory against Nottingham Forest.[6] He then rejected a new contract with West Brom and left the club on 30 June 2020.

Crystal Palace[edit]

Ferguson joined Crystal Palace on 21 July 2020 on a three-year deal.[7][8] Having joined Palace in July, Ferguson suffered from a serious knee injury which required him to have an MRI scan. This was followed by a minor thigh injury in December of that year.[9]

After a lengthy delay due to injury, Ferguson made his debut on 26 December 2021 in a 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Tyrick Mitchell.[10] He also made the bench for the games against Norwich City on 28 December 2021 [11] and Brighton & Hove Albion on 14 January 2022.[12]
