Career

Peters began his career with BeterVerwagting Triumph in 2003, before joining Guyana Defence Force two years later.[1] A short stay with Western Tigers led to a move to Trinidad & Tobago to join Caledonia ANA in 2007, before returning to Guyana Defence Force for a second spell a year later.[1]

He then moved to Alpha United in 2009, where he was part of the Guyana Super National League winning squad for five consecutive seasons until 2014.[1]

Peters made his international debut for Guyana on 22 June 2008, falling to Suriname in a 2-1 defeat during 2010 World Cup qualification.[2] His first international goal then came on 10 August 2008 in the Caribbean Cup, scoring a 90th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Suriname.[3]

He scored his first international brace in his nation's opening fixture of the 2017 Caribbean Cup qualification campaign, during a 7-0 rout of Anguilla.[4]
