With the departure of West Indian Desmond Haynes, the call-up of Gary Kirsten to the South African team and the inevitable call-up of Herschelle Gibbs, Western Province were in need of a new opening batsman.

During his time with Western Province, Ferreira played 4 first-class matches for the Western Province B team. For the main team, he played 38 matches during which he scored 1,930 runs at an average of 32.16, with 5 centuries and 8 half centuries. He also made his highest first-class score for the province, 201 against North West in 2001.[4] He played his final first-class match for the province against KwaZulu-Natal in the 2003/04 SuperSport Series.

Ferreira also played List-A cricket for Western Province, making his one-day debut against Griqualand West in the 1997/98 Standard Bank League. He played 45 one-day matches for the province, scoring 999 runs at an average of 24.97, with a 6 half centuries and a single century score of 134. His final one-day match for the province came against Easterns in the 2003/04 Standard Bank Cup.

In 1998 he represented Dorset in England, in the 1998 NatWest Trophy against Hampshire. Ferreira scored 7 runs, before being dismissed by Nixon McLean in what his only appearance for the English county.[5] In 1999, he played 4 matches for Rawtenstall Cricket Club in the Lancashire League.[6]
