Club career

Oldham Athletic

Pearson went through Oldham Athletic's youth system and was a part of the club's youth Championship. He made several appearances for the reserve team before being promoted to the first team. He made his first-team debut against Millwall in a 2–1 loss on 17 February 2007.[2][3]

In the summer of 2007, Pearson signed a one-year contract extension to remain at Boundary Park. Though in April 2008, both Pearson and teammate Ashley Kelly were told by Oldham that they were to be released at the end of their contracts.[4]

Farsley Celtic

Pearson was loaned out to Farsley Celtic of Conference National between October and December 2007.[5] His first appearance came in a 3–0 rout of Droylsden.[6]

Barrow

Pearson played a series of trial games with Barrow AFC in summer 2008, before signing for the Conference National team before the start of the 2008–09 season.[7] He made his debut in Barrow's 3–0 victory over Oxford United.[8] In a 2008–09 FA Cup clash with Premier League side Middlesbrough, Pearson received an injury in the 52nd minute after a challenge with Marvin Emnes,[9] a collision which left Pearson with a double leg-break.[10] He was ruled out for the remainder of the season, but Barrow manager Dave Bayliss assured Pearson would remain with the club.[10] The Bluebirds lost to Middlesbrough 2–1.[11] In March, Pearson reported that he hoped to recover in time for the 2009–10 season.[2] In May 2011 he was offered a new contract by Barrow.[12]

International career

Pearson has represented Wales in the Under-15 and Under-16 levels of competition.[2] In March 2010, he made his debut for the Wales semi-professional side in a 7–2 defeat to Portugal.[13]
