Ferguson received initial attention during the 1977 Canada Games where he scored in the final championship game. He started his North American Soccer League career with a single appearance for the Vancouver Whitecaps in 1978, but went on to appear in 80 games for the Edmonton Drillers from 1979 to 1982.[1]
Ferguson would go on to play for such teams as the Hamilton Steelers of the Canadian Soccer League and the Cleveland Force/Cleveland Crunch of the Major Indoor Soccer League.
Ferguson did not make his first appearance for the Canadian national soccer team until he was 27 years old with a 2-1 win over Trinidad and Tobago in 1985.
Since retiring as a player, Ferguson has served as the head coach for the Kitchener Spirit of the Canadian Soccer League from 1990–1991,[2] and for Canada's Cerebral Palsy (CP-ISRA) 7-a-side squad at the 2005 and 2007 World Championship.[3]
