Club career edit

Ferreyra began his senior career in 2009 with Primera B Nacional's Gimnasia y Esgrima.[1][3] His professional debut arrived on 29 October during a goalless draw away to All Boys, which preceded the defender scoring his opening goal against Aldosivi on 6 February 2010.[1] Over the course of his first four seasons, he participated in seventy-six matches and scored four times.[1] On 30 June 2013, Ferreyra joined Primera División side Olimpo on a season-long loan deal.[1][4] Eighteen appearances followed.[1] He returned to Gimnasia ahead of the 2014, going on to take his tally to two hundred and fourteen appearances and eight goals.[1][5]

In August 2020, after eleven senior years at Gimnasia, Ferreyra departed to sign for fellow Primera B Nacional team Instituto.[6][7] In December 2021, Ferreyra signed a deal with Club Almagro.[8]
