Coming off the bench across seven Currie Cup appearances, Ferreira contributes steadily in both directions — his tackle count edges ahead of his carry rate, pointing to a player who prioritises defensive work when introduced. He is capable of sharper offensive bursts when the opportunity arises, with a standout showing of 44 metres from four carries demonstrating genuine ground-gaining ability in the right moment. His minutes-per-match profile reflects a consistent rotation role rather than extended game time.
