Ferrelly will be responsible for “building and developing advanced proprietary data models to support decision-making across all departments”, including coaching, scouting/ recruitment, player development, sport science and medical.
Writing on LinkedIn, he said: “I’m delighted to announce that after almost four years at Everton FC I will be starting a new role as Head of Data and Research for Sport Republic.
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Everton and I have learnt so much from my experiences there and getting to work with a lot of very hard working and talented people.
“I’m really excited to starting my new role, working with an outstanding team and helping with decision making across all clubs in the group using data analytics.”
