Club careeredit
Early careeredit
Ferrari started with Blau Weiss Gottschee where he won four New York State Championships. Ferrari played high school soccer at Saint Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark, New Jersey.[3] He then continued his youth career in the system of Major League Soccer club MetroStars, now known as the New York Red Bulls. Gabriel was the captain of the MetroStars side that captured the U-16 North American Championship.[4] He verbally committed to play college soccer at the University of Connecticut, but elected to sign a professional contract with Sampdoria instead.
Italyedit
Ferrari signed with Serie A club Sampdoria on January 17, 2007, in a deal that kept him in Italy until 2010. Gabriel made his Sampdoria debut on February 1 in a Coppa Italia match against Inter Milan, coming on as a substitute. He did not make any appearances in Serie A, the Italian top flight. In July 2008, Sampdoria announced that they loaned Ferrari out to Lega Pro Prima Divisione side Perugia.[5] He moved on loan to Serie C side Foggia for the 2009–10 season. On February 1, 2010. he moved to Ternana Calcio.[6]
Prior to the start of the 2011 Major League Soccer season Ferrari went on trial with Chicago Fire SC. After impressing during his trial stint, the club signed Ferrari on 24 March 2011.[7] He made his Fire debut on June 18, coming on as a substitute in the 1–1 draw at the New England Revolution.
Ferrari was released by Chicago on December 7,2011.[8]
International careeredit
Ferrari holds American, Brazilian, and Italian citizenship. His triple citizenship, primarily that with Italy, sparked a debate over which senior international team he might attempt to play for, as fears arose that Ferrari might play for Italy instead of his native United States, like Giuseppe Rossi. Gabriel quickly dismissed the speculation, saying:
"I'm a New Yorker. I grew up in the US and that is the country I would like to play for if I get the chance."[9]
