Brett Ferres (born 17 April 1986 in Castleford, England) is a professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for Leeds of Super League. An England national representative second-row forward, he previously played for Huddersfield Bradford, Wakefield Trinity and Castleford.
Ferres was a member of the England academy side that toured Australia and New Zealand in 2004. In 2005 he made 9 first team appearances for Bradford and was the regular goal kicker for the senior academy, a side he also captained, scoring 17 tries in only 17 appearances for the under-21s. As Super League champions Bradford faced National Rugby League premiers Wests Tigers in the 2006 World Club Challenge, Ferres played from the interchange bench in Bradford's 30-10 victory.
In late 2006, Ferres signed for Wakefield Trinity in exchange for David Solomona who went to Bradford.
Ferres signed for Castleford on 7 November 2008 after being released from his contract with Wakefield Trinity.
On 2 July 2009 Ferres signed a new 3-year deal to stay at Castleford.
In July 2012, Ferres signed for Huddersfield for a three-and-a-half-year deal. He was named at second-row in the 2013 Super League Dream Team. Immediately following the test series against New Zealand, Ferres was suspended by Huddersfield pending an investigation into his "conduct away from the club". He was consequently transfer listed.
