Career

In 2003, Peters joined the youth set-up at German club 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Two years later, he rejected offers from Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United, opting instead for Ipswich Town on recommendation by former Canada coach Frank Yallop. However, Peters spent the rest of the season with the academy, he yet received a work permit, but managed to do in the summer.

Shortly after being granted a work permit, Peters made his Ipswich Town debut, where he came on as a substitute in the second half, in a 1-0 win over Cardiff City in the opening game of the season. Despite facing competitions, as well as, his own injury concern, he went on to make thirteen appearance in the 2005-06 season. During the season, he was featured in the reserve and scored a hat-trick, in a 8-1 win over Watford's Reserve.

In the 2006-07 season, Peters was told by Manager Jim Magilton that he can leave the club on loan to get first team experience. Despite this, he stayed at the club, making eleven appearance and went on to receive the most improved player award in the 2006–07 season, as well as, being offered a new contract. After winning the most improved player award, he was granted a work permit for the second time, allowing him to sign a three-year contract with the club.

After three appearances at Gillingham, he returned to Ipswich and played his first 2008–09 game for the club in the 3–2 derby win over Norwich City on 19 April, coming on as a substitute for the injured Ben Thatcher. Peters also appeared two more matches later in the 2008-09 season against Cardiff City and Coventry City, where he made three appearance for the club this season.

As Peters returned to Ipswich from his various loans spells in mid-2009, newly appointed manager Roy Keane experimented Peters at right back. After suffering from an injury at the start of the season, he then returned to the first team against Middlesbrough on 12 September 2009. After signing a contract with the club, keeping him until 2013, Peters then scored his first goal for the club ten days later, on 26 December 2009, in a 3-1 loss against Crystal Palace. Peters went to finish the 2009-10 season, making thirty-four appearance and scoring once in all competitions.

Because of his role in the right back from the previous season, this test worked out pushing the previously struggling winger into the first team, Peters partaking in the first 15 matches of the 2010/2011 season. Peters scored his first goal of the campaign against Scunthorpe United on September 25, the game ended in a 1-1 away draw. However Peters had his strongest performance as a Tractor Boy in the first game after Keane was sacked. It came in the League Cup Semi-Final first leg against Arsenal on January 12, 2011. Peters marked Andrei Arshavin so well it forced Arsène Wenger to sub the Russian Winger out in the second half, Ipswich won the game 1-0. Following the hire of Paul Jewell as manager in early January, Peters began to struggle for first team selection, during a span of 14 league matches Peters was only given one game playing for 12 minutes against Doncaster Rovers on 15 February 2011. Despite this, Peters finished the 2010-11 season, making thirty appearance and scoring once in all competitions.

Peters made his 2011-12 season debut in the League Cup against Northampton Town on August 9, losing the game 2-1. After his loan at Bournemouth came to an end, Peters never made appearance for the rest of the 2011-12 season. Peters would be told by Paul Jewell that he was not in his plans for the 2012-13 season and he was formally released from his contract by mutual consent on 23 August 2012, ending his seven years association with the club. It came after when Jewell told both Peters and Nathan Ellington can leave the club after being left out the club's pre-season tour.

Loan Spells

After making six appearance in the first half of the 2007-08 season, Peters was loaned out to Yeovil Town until the end of the season despite interests from Romanian side Steaua Bucharest. Peters then made his Yeovil Town debut a few days later on 2 February 2008, in a 2-0 loss against Huddersfield Town. Despite suffering from ankle injury, Peters returned to the first team and then scored on the last game of the season, in a 3-2 loss against Nottingham Forest. After making fourteen appearance and scoring once, the club were keen on signing him for the next season, but it never happened.

After making no appearance for the club in the first half of 2008-09 season, Peters joined Gillingham on a one-month loan on 22 January 2009 transfer window, and made his debut on 24 January 2009 as a substitute in a 1–0 home win over Exeter City. While at Gillingham, Peters was able to join fellow Canadian international Simeon Jackson who scored 14 league goals that season. After making three appearance, his loan spell with Gillingham came to an end after a month there.

However Peters' struggle for playing time at Ipswich Town continued from last season failing to play another minute until he was loaned out in late September to Bournemouth in League One on a month loan. Peters made his debut for the club on 24 September 2011, where he made his first start and played for 84 minutes before being substituted, in a 2-1 loss against Hartlepool United. The loan deal was for a one-month, however, manager Lee Bradbury was impressed with Peters' performance and was able to have the deal extended for a second month. Peters returned to Ipswich in early December after a failed attempt of extending the loan deal, he made 8 league and 2 cup appearances while on loan.

Career after Ipswich Town

After formally leaving Ipswich, Peters went on an extended trial with Yeovil Town, rejoining his former club, in hopes of earning a contract there.

In January 2013, Peters went on trial with Major League Soccer side Vancouver Whitecaps FC in his native Canada. He was released in mid-February.
