A strong all-round central midfielder, Ben Farrell joined the U's in January 2008. His career began at Bedford Town at the age of 16 and he was included in the first team squad at that age, but then missed almost two entire seasons between 2004 and 2006 with a troublesome toe injury.
Once restored to fitness, he established himself in the first team and began to attract interest from bigger clubs, choosing Cambridge in January 2008.
Ben made his debut in the 5-0 home win against Droylsden on 22nd January 2008 and overcame an ankle injury to become a regular member of the squad, also scoring twice. His performances earned a new two-year deal to 2010, with the club having the option of a third year.
Injuries and two unfortunate sendings-off limited Ben's first team impact last season and he ended the season with a month's loan at Cambridge City. This pre-season was similarly interrupted by an ankle injury and Ben spent a month on loan at Histon before returning in late September.
