The 23-year old outside back joins after spending 2024 at Hunslet Hawks, where he was a key part of their League 1 promotion winning squad.
Ferreria came through at Hull FC, where he was captain of the Academy side.
A year on loan at London Broncos saw him feature 11 times in the Championship in 2022, including against York at the LNER Community Stadium, where he scored a try in a 36-34 defeat for the Broncos.
He was released by Hull FC the following year, before joining Hunslet for 2024 where he went on to score 22 tries in 28 appearances.
Those tries included four in one game against Keighley Cougars.
Ferreira was also named in the Welsh squad for the 2026 RLWC European Qualifiers.
Coach, Mark Applegarth said: “He’ll offer some great competition for the centre spots.
"He’s had a great year at Hunslet and he’s a player I coached on the England Pathways a number of years ago and I remember him well from his days at the City of Hull Academy.
"I’m looking forward to linking back up with Jude and hopefully help him achieve his ambition of getting back to the level he wants to be playing at."
Ferreria is the fourth new signing for 2025, joining Paul McShane, Kieran Buchanan and James Farrar at the Knights.
