Career

Amateur and college

Peterlin attended Lowell High School, where he was twice named the Most Valuable Player of San Francisco's public high school league. [2] [3] After graduating, he enrolled at the University of California, Santa Cruz, before transferring to California Polytechnic State University, where he majored in biology.[ citation needed ] At Cal Poly Peterlin was a Big West All-Conference First Team selection and an All-NSCAA Far West Region Third Team selection in his senior year.[ citation needed ]

During his collegiate off-seasons Peterlin played for the San Francisco Seals and Ventura County Fusion in the USL Premier Development League.[ citation needed ] Graham Smith, coach of the Fusion, recommended Peterlin to David Moyes, manager of Premier League club Everton. [4] After impressing during a ten-day trial during the 2008–09 season, [5] Everton announced on July 6, 2009, that they would sign him to a one-year contract. [6] Peterlin rejected offers from Major League Soccer clubs Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes to join Everton. [4]

Professional

Peterlin made his Everton debut on July 10, 2009, in a pre-season friendly defeat to Bury. [7] He played in eight reserve team games for the Toffees, but never made a first team appearance in any competition.[ citation needed ] He was released upon his contract expiry in June 2010 and he was offered a trial by Plymouth Argyle manager Peter Reid, a former Everton player. [8]

Peterlin was successful with his trial and signed a one-year contract with Plymouth Argyle on July 27, 2010. [9] He made his full professional debut on August 7, 2010, in Plymouth's 1–0 opening day victory over Southampton. [10] Having made 14 appearances in all competitions during the 2010–11 season, Peterlin was one of nine first team players released by the club. [11] [12] He joined Walsall on trial in July 2011, [13] and went on to sign a one-year contract after impressing their manager Dean Smith. [14] [15] He made his debut for Walsall on August 9, 2011, coming on as a substitute for Claude Gnakpa in a 3–0 League Cup defeat against Middlesbrough. [16] Having left Walsall, Peterlin trialled with Hearts [17] and Colorado Rapids. [18]

Personal life

Born in the United States to a Danish mother and Slovenian father, [19] Peterlin holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Denmark, which eliminated the need to secure a work permit. [20] [21] His mother Anne moved from Denmark to the United States to attend the University of San Francisco on a tennis scholarship. [22] Peterlin's brother Sebastian is a rower at Stanford University. [23]
