Early life

Pearce was raised in Forster, New South Wales, before moving to Newcastle, aged fifteen. [1] In Newcastle, he attended Hunter Sports High School. [2] Pearce began playing football aged four, but did not move into goals until aged thirteen, previously playing as a defender. [2]

Playing career

Club

Pearce's first experience of senior football came in the Northern NSW State League Division 1, for Newcastle Jets youth, where coach (and former Australian international) Clayton Zane praised Pearce's potential and passing ability. [2] For the 2014 National Premier Leagues season, Pearce moved to Broadmeadow Magic. [1] In October 2014, it was announced that Pearce had joined Central Coast Mariners' youth squad to play in the 2014–15 National Youth League. [3] He was called up to the senior squad for the first time and was an unused substitute against Sydney FC in an A-League match in November 2014 following an injury to Liam Reddy. [1] Reddy's departure in late 2015 and suspension and international selection for Paul Izzo led Pearce and fellow young 'keeper Tom Heward-Belle to be called up to the senior side. [4] He made his A-League debut for the Mariners in a loss to Western Sydney Wanderers in April 2016. [5] Pearce was in A-League action again a week later, coming on as an early substitute after Paul Izzo suffered a concussion in the opening minute of an eventual loss to Newcastle Jets. [6] On 6 April 2017, he signed a one-year professional contract with Central Coast Mariners. [7]
