[edit] Career
After a successful three-year college career at the University of Portland, Pearce signed with FC Nordsjælland and began his professional career in the 2005–06 Danish Superliga season.
After stating that he would leave FCN after the 2007 season with a goal to be signed by a team in the German, Scottish, or Dutch leagues, Pearce signed a two-year contract with F.C. Hansa Rostock on 16 July 2007. On 13 April 2009 Pearce was suspended from Hansa Rostock's first team and demoted to the reserve squad[1].
[edit] International
Pearce made his international debut in November 2005 against Scotland. Pearce was included by Bruce Arena in United States training camps and friendly matches prior to the 2006 FIFA World Cup but did not make the team. New head coach Bob Bradley invited Pearce to camp in January 2007. Since then Pearce has become a first choice player at left back for Bradley and has played in 7 World Cup qualifiers for the United States, all of which were starts, and has tallied one assist.[2]
