Featherby was born in King's Lynn and played for a multitude of clubs in his career. Starting out locally with Whitefriars, the inside-forward then played for Lynn Town and represented Norfolk County. In 1924 he was signed by Norwich City and made 26 Football League appearances between 1924 and 1925. He then moved out of the League and played briefly for Northfleet and in 1927 was registered with Millwall and non-league Peterborough & Fletton United. Returning to the League in 1928 with Merthyr Town, he moved on to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the same year, playing 21 games and scoring 6 goals. In 1930 he appeared for Reading before moving to Queen's Park Rangers the following year. His second club of 1931 was Mansfield Town and in 1932 he signed for Crewe Alexandra before returning to Merthyr Town. After such a peripatetic career, he moved to Argyle in 1933 and spent a comparatively stable two seasons at Home Park, although playing only a handful of games in that time. Moving on again in 1935, he joined Notts County before winding down an exhaustive, nomadic career with King's Lynn back in Norfolk.
