Peter’s Biography

Peter is a striker who came up through the ranks at Windsor Park and made his Linfield senior debut away to Glenavon in April 2002.

He was the Irish League's top goalscorer in 2005/06, scoring 48 goals in 58 games in League and Cup competitions. These goals helped Linfield to not only the League title but also all three domestic cups. In July 2008, after seven seasons with Linfield, Peter signed for English side Stockport County.

After eighteen months at Edgley Park Peter returned to Linfield on loan in January 2010, signing a permanent deal with his former club in July of that year. He went on to make his 300th appearance for the club against Cliftonville in April 2011, and scored his 200th goal against Ballyclare Comrades in the Irish Cup on 14 January 2012.
