Brentford
Peters began his career in the youth system at Division Three side Brentford, joining the club at the age of 14 and commencing a scholarship after leaving school in 1987. Playing in the same generation as Marcus Gayle, Paul Buckle and Ashley Bayes, Peters was part of the youth team which reached the semi-finals of the 1988–89 FA Youth Cup. He signed a professional contract in the summer of 1989 and made his debut for the first team during the 1989–90 season, but failed to win a regular place in the side, only making 10 appearances and scoring one goal by the end of the 1990–91 season.
With Brentford challenging for promotion from Division Three in the 1991–92 season, Peters managed only 14 appearances and matters failed to improve after the Bees' promotion to the new second-tier Division One for the 1992–93 season, when he managed just one substitute appearance all season. He had rejected the offer of a new contract before the beginning of the season. Peters made 17 appearances and scored one goal during the 1993–94 season, but after failing to make any appearances in the early part of 1994–95, he left Griffin Park in November 1994, having made just 42 appearances and scored two goals in five years as a professional.
