Club career

Born in Baños de Molgas, Province of Ourense, Galicia,[2] Ferreiro finished his development at Pabellón Ourense after starting out at Nogueira.[3] In 2006, he signed with Ourense: initially assigned to the reserves in the Tercera División, he became a regular starter for the first team during the 2007–08 season, which ended in relegation from Segunda División B.[4]

Ferreiro continued to compete in the third division the following years, representing Atlético Ciudad and Zamora.[5] On 2 August 2011, he signed a contract with Granada who paid his buyout clause of €20,000, and was immediately loaned to Cádiz.[6]

In the summer of 2012, still owned by Granada, Ferreiro joined Racing Santander.[7] He made his Segunda División debut on 19 August, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Las Palmas.[8] His only goal of the campaign, which ended in relegation,[9] came on 12 May of the following year in the 1–0 home defeat of Real Madrid Castilla.[10]

In the 2014 off-season, after a third loan to Hércules, Ferreiro was released by Granada and moved to Lugo, also in the third tier.[11] He signed with Huesca of the same league on 20 June 2016,[12] achieving promotion to La Liga at the end of the 2017–18 season.[13]

Ferreiro made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 19 August 2018, coming on as a 90th-minute substitute for Damián Musto in a 2–1 away win against Eibar.[14] He scored his first goal in the competition the following 5 January, equalising in an eventual 2–1 home victory over Real Betis.[15]

On 3 July 2022, Ferreiro terminated his contract with Huesca, leaving the club after 216 competitive appearances.[16] The following day, the 34-year-old joined second-division Cartagena on a two-year deal.[17]
