Si Ferry has revealed he turned down the opportunity to be Kevin Thomson's assistant at Kelty Hearts.
The former Celtic midfielder recently penned a new deal at Peterhead where he both plays and coaches. And he told how he wanted to stay loyal to the Blue Toon by sticking around despite a "very good offer" from the newly promoted Kelty.
Speaking on Peterhead's website the Open Goal host said: "I have just signed on again at Peterhead and I wanted to be loyal to the manager and the club. I was a team-mate of Kevin’s at Dundee and have a lot of respect for him both as a person and a coach.
"It was a very good offer to join Kelty, so it was a tough decision but I am enjoying my role at Peterhead, where I already do a lot of the coaching. My manager Jim McInally always said he would never stand in the way if an opportunity to become an assistant came up and he gave me permission to speak to Kelty.
"I know Kevin will go on to be a very good manager however I think the manager at Peterhead has built the best squad in my time at the club and that is something I wanted to continue being involved with."
