Biography

He came through the youth academy of Italian club Parma before being offered a trial at Football League Championship club Cardiff City, after becoming highly recommended by Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.[1] After a successful trial and scoring a goal in a pre-season win in Scotland, Andrea was signed on a 2-year professional contract and handed the number 26 shirt.

In August 2006, having yet to start a game or score a goal for the Bluebirds first team, Andrea was loaned out to Football League One club Scunthorpe United for an initial one-month period. His squad number for Scunthorpe was 23 before returning to his parent club in early September of the same year after his loan came to an end.

On 12 April 2007, Ferretti parted company with Cardiff by mutual consent.[2] His contract was due to expire in June 2007.[2] He joined A.C. Cesena in the 2007 pre-season.
