At the end of the season, he was told by the club that he was surplus to its requirements and he was free to leave the club in the summer.[5] Subsequently, he moved to the Indian Super League and signed for Pune City for the 2016 season.[6] In November, he scored his first goal for the club in a match against Atlético Kolkata.[7]
On 6 December 2016, after the end of the Super League, Ferreira joined I-League club Mohun Bagan.[8] In the following October, he switched to city rivals East Bengal as a replacement for the injured Carlyle Mitchell.[9] He scored his first goal on 28 November, in a 2–2 draw against Aizawl FC.[10]
In August 2018 he joined NEROCA FC.[11]
