Chelsea

A central defender, Pettigrew began his career in the Chelsea academy and turned professional in March 2005. [3] Despite captaining the reserve team during the 2005–06 season, [3] Pettigrew failed to win a call into a first team squad before his release in May 2007. [4]

Wycombe Wanderers (loan)

In August 2006, Pettigrew was set to join League Two club Wycombe Wanderers on loan, but the deal was put on hold due to injury. [3] He finally joined the club on 5 March 2007, on loan until the end of the 2006–07 season, as cover for the injured Mike Williamson. [3] Pettigrew made just one appearance for the Chairboys, with a start in a 1–0 defeat to Bristol Rovers on 27 March and he was substituted for Chris Palmer at half time. [5] The loan was ended early on 17 April. [6]

Brentford (loan)

On 10 August 2007, Pettigrew joined newly relegated League Two club Brentford on a one-month loan, [7] which was later extended for two further months. [8] [9] He was an ever-present in the Bees' opening 11 matches of the season and finished his spell on 11 November, with 14 appearances. [10] [11]

Rotherham United (loan)

On 31 January 2008, Pettigrew joined League Two club Rotherham United on loan until the end of the 2007–08 season. [12] The financially stricken club went into administration on 18 March and Pettigrew's loan was ended early on 3 April 2008, [13] [14] after he had made just four appearances. [11]

Non-league football

After rejecting the chance to join Zulte Waregem and trialling with AEK Athens, [15] [16] Pettigrew had short spells in non-League football with Cheshunt, Bishop's Stortford and A.F.C. Sudbury during the 2008–09 season. [4] [17] [18] He later played for Middlesex County League First Division Central & East club West End during the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons. [19] [20]
