Kane Ryan Ferdinand (born 7 October 1992) is a footballer who plays as a midfielder for Luton Town on loan from Peterborough United. Ferdinand has previously played for Southend United.
Club career
Southend United
Ferdinand came through Southend United's youth system.[2] He made his professional debut on 1 January 2011, playing 90 minutes in a 2–0 away win at Oxford United in League Two.[3] On 15 February 2011, Ferdinand scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 victory over Wycombe Wanderers.[4] In March 2011, Ferdinand signed a two-and-a-half year professional contract with Southend.[5] He played in 45 games, scoring seven goals, during the 2011–12 season as Southend reached the League Two play-off semi-finals.
Peterborough United
On 31 August 2012, Ferdinand signed for Peterborough United on a four-year deal for an initial fee of £200,000, which could rise to £500,000.[6] He made his debut on 15 September 2012 in a 5–2 away defeat to Burnley.[7] He went onto play 33 times for Posh in the Championship during the 2012–13 season, scoring once – the winning goal in a 1–0 victory at Blackpool on 16 March 2013. Peterborough were relegated to League One on the last day of the season, and Kane fell out of first-team contention.
He joined League Two side Northampton Town on 31 October 2013 on a one-month loan.[8] After making five appearances at Northampton, impressing manager Aidy Boothroyd, his loan ended early on 28 November as he was recalled by Peterborough.[9] He played in three games for Peterborough following his recall, before being sent on loan for the rest of the season to Conference Premier leaders Luton Town on 3 January 2014.[10]
International career
Ferdinand has represented the Republic of Ireland at underage level. He qualifies for Ireland through his Irish father.[11][12]
Personal life
He is the cousin of fellow professional footballers, brothers Rio and Anton Ferdinand, and former England international footballer, Les Ferdinand.[6][13]
