Peter played 18 times in the league for Portadown in the latter half of the 1997/98 season and made 7 more league appearances at the beginning of 1998/99, and returned to Derry Colours before the year was out.

In the summer of 2001 Peter signed for Shelbourne where he won the league title in what would be his only season with the club, and one year after leaving he returned for a third stint at Derry City.
