Anton Alexander Peterlin (born April 4, 1987) is an American[2] soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Plymouth Argyle of Football League One in England.

Career

Amateur and college

Peterlin attended Lowell High School, where he was twice named the Most Valuable Player of San Francisco's public high school league.[3][4] After graduating, he enrolled at the University of California, Santa Cruz, before transferring to California Polytechnic State University, where he majored in biology. At Cal Poly SLO Peterlin was a Big West All-Conference First Team selection and an All-NSCAA Far West Region Third Team selection in his senior year.

During his collegiate off-seasons Peterlin played for the San Francisco Seals and Ventura County Fusion in the USL Premier Development League. Graham Smith, coach of the Fusion, recommended Peterlin to David Moyes, manager of Premier League club Everton.[5] After impressing during a ten-day trial during the 2008-09 season,[6] Everton announced on July 6, 2009, that they would sign him to a one-year contract.[7] Peterlin rejected offers from Major League Soccer clubs Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes to join Everton.[5]

Professional career

Peterlin made his Everton debut on July 10, 2009, in a pre-season friendly defeat to Bury[8], and played in eight reserve team games for the Toffees, but never made a first team appearance in any competition. He was released upon his contract expiry in June 2010 and he was offered a trial by Plymouth Argyle manager Peter Reid, a former Everton player.[9]

Anton was successful with his trial and signed a one year contract with Plymouth Argyle on July 27, 2010.[10]

Personal life

Born in the United States to a Danish mother and Slovenian father,[11] Peterlin holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Denmark, which eliminated the need to secure a work permit.[12][13] His mother Anne moved from Denmark to the United States to attend the University of San Francisco on a tennis scholarship.[14] Peterlin's brother Sebastian is a rower at Stanford University.[15]
