Born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto District, Ferreira finished his development at S.L. Benfica after being signed from local União Nogueirense Futebol Clube at the age of 16.[1] He made his professional debut with the former club's reserves on 24 November 2015 in a 2–1 home win against Clube Oriental de Lisboa for the LigaPro,[2] and finished his first season with a further four league appearances.

Ferreira played 34 matches in the 2016–17 campaign, helping the B-team to the fourth position in the second division.[3] On 1 July 2017, he joined fellow league club Leixões S.C. on a season-long loan,[4][5] going on make 35 competitive appearances during his spell at the Estádio do Mar.[3]

On 31 August 2018, Ferreira renewed his contract with Benfica until 2023 and was immediately loaned to C.D. Aves.[6][7][3] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 27 October, in a 1–2 home loss to C.D. Santa Clara.[8]
