Playing career

Born in Badalona, Barcelona, Catalonia, Ferrón was a product of FC Barcelona's prolific youth ranks at La Masia. After failing to be promoted to the first team he had a breakthrough season in 1999–2000, scoring seven La Liga goals to help Rayo Vallecano to their best finish ever – ninth; he started his career as a midfielder.^[1]

Subsequently, Ferrón moved to Real Zaragoza, but would be irregularly used in his new club, which also prompted a January 2002 loan to fellow top-division Rayo.^[2] The player's contributions again proved helpful in an eventual mid-table position, as the former were in turn relegated.^[1]

Following an uneventful last year at Zaragoza, Ferrón joined Albacete Balompié for 2004–05,^[3] taking part in only one game in a season that also ended in top-tier relegation. In the next three Segunda División campaigns, however, he was an undisputed starter, appearing also at right-back.^[4]

Ferrón signed with local side CF Badalona for 2008–09, his first season in the Segunda División B after totalling 242 matches across the two main divisions.^[5]

Coaching career

Ferrón retired in June 2015 at the age of 37, following one year as player-coach of amateurs UE Cabrera. Afterwards, also at the regional level, he managed the women's team of CE Seagull from his hometown.^[6][7]

On 10 December 2019, Ferrón signed as head coach of RCD Espanyol.^[8] He continued to work in women's football the following seasons, with SD Eibar^[9] and INAC Kobe Leonessa.^[10]
