Ferry de Regt (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈfɛri ˈrɛxt]; born 29 August 1988) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a centre back.

Career

De Regt began playing for Quick Boys '31 in southern Venlo. He joined VVV-Venlo at age eleven, and broke through to the first team in 2006. His senior debut came on 15 December 2006 in a 1–0 away win against FC Den Bosch, where he came on as a substitute. De Regt gained promotion to the Eredivisie in the 2006–07 season after beating RKC Waalwijk in play-offs. His competitive debut in the Eredivisie came one year after his second division debut, on 15 December 2007 as a starter in a 1–1 draw against FC Twente.

De Regt initially started as a right-back, but began starting as a regular centre back together with Frank van Kouwen due to injuries of centre backs Reekers and Verdellen. Since then, he has been a starter in central defence for VVV.

In the 2012–13 season, De Regt plays on loan for Helmond Sport in the Eerste Divisie.

On 1 July 2019, De Regt returned to Helmond Sport on a one-year deal.

In the summer 2020, he moved to German fourth-tier Regionalliga West club Straelen. He retired from professional football in May 2022.
