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]
