Anton Peterlin (born April 4, 1987, in Template:City-state) is an American soccer player who currently plays for Everton in the English Premier League.
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.[2][3] 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 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 offseasons 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.[4] After impressing during a ten-day trial during the 2008-09 season,[5] Everton announced on July 6, 2009, that they would sign him to a one-year contract.[6] Peterlin rejected offers from Major League Soccer clubs Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes to join Everton.[4]
Professional
Peterlin made his Everton debut on July 10, 2009, in a pre-season loss to Bury.[7]
Personal
Born in the United States to a Danish mother and Slovenian father,[8] Peterlin holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Denmark, which eliminates the need to secure a work permit.[9][10] His mother Anne moved from Denmark to the United States to attend the University of San Francisco on a tennis scholarship.[11] Peterlin's brother Sebastian is a rower at Stanford University.[12]
