Career

Club

Peltier attended St. Anthony's College in Trinidad playing on his school's football team as the striker position.[1] and had trials with Club Brugge, Arsenal, Millwall and Cardiff City.[2] In 2007, English Premiership club Portsmouth offered Peltier a four-year contract after a successful trial, but could not conclude the deal due to his failure to attain a work permit.[3] In April 2011 he signed with AS Trenčín and made his debut on 10 April 2011.[4] On 19 June 2012, Slovan Bratislava confirmed the signing of Peltier from AS Trenčín on a four-year contract.[5]

On 7 February 2016, Peltier signed for Irtysh Pavlodar of the Kazakhstan Premier League.[6] Little over a week later, Peltier and Irtysh Pavlodar agreed to cancel his contract by mutual consent due to family circumstances.[7]

On 30 July 2018, Peltier re-joined Alashkert,[8] but left the club 6-weeks later to join Saudi second tier club Al-Mujazzal.[9]
