Sergio Peter is a left-winger, who plays for Sparta Prague in the Czech Gambrinus Liga. Peters was one of the most promising German talents, he played for Blackburn Rovers in the English Premier League. Peter made his debut against the Queen's Park Rangers on January 7th 2006. He set up all three goals and was named the man of the match. He managed 25 appearances for Blackburn and a further 5 for Cercle Bruge, where he was on loan for half a year in 2005.
He was considered a top prospect at Blackburn under ex-Bayern player Mark Hughes. Injuries have, however slowed his progress and he has failed to make the first team since the start of this season, and is now looking for more playing time at the Czech side. Still the move comes as a suprise for many, the Czech Republic is not exactly the first choice for German football players. But at a closer look the move makes sense. Unlike Austria, the Czech League is a developing league for the Bundesliga. Sparta Prague is the home for many great players that moved to the Bundesliga and elsewhere, most notably Tomas Rosicky, who played for Dortmund and is now with Arsenal. Lately the young Michal Kadlec of Leverkusen has made a name for himself. Peter is hopeing to follow the path of those two players to the Bundesliga.
Sparta Prague is fourth in the current standing, and ten points behind city rival Slavia, which is currently on first place. Furthermore, the club has already exited all international competitions.
