Will Ferry was a near ever-present league starter for Dundee United in 2025-26, making 33 Premiership appearances, 32 of them from the start, and scoring four goals. For a left back, that return gave him more attacking weight than a purely defensive role, while three yellow cards across that league workload point to a player trusted to handle regular minutes.

Ferry’s transfer history is built around development moves rather than major fees. Bury to Southampton and Southampton to Cheltenham Town were both undisclosed deals, Crawley Town came as a loan from Southampton, and the move from Cheltenham Town to Dundee United in July 2024 was a free transfer. His current €1.20m market value gives that Dundee United deal a clear value angle.
