Peter Byers (born 20 October 1984) is an Antiguan international footballer who plays professionally for SAP FC as a striker.[1]

Club career

Born in Bolans Village, Byers spent his early career in his native Antigua and Barbuda with SAP, and in Trinidad and Tobago with San Juan Jabloteh.

Byers joined Montreal Impact of the USL First Division on 27 August 2008, a week before the roster freeze date. He was invited to trial with the San Jose Earthquakes during the 2009 MLS pre-season, but signed a new two-year deal with the Impact on 18 February 2009, after failing to agree a contract with the Earthquakes.[2] During the 2009 USL season playoffs, Byers scored the opening goal for the Impact in a 2–1 victory over the Puerto Rico Islanders, which allowed the Impact to advance to the finals.[3] Their opponents in the finals were the Vancouver Whitecaps, and on 10 October 2009, in the first match of the finals, Byers scored the second goal in 3–2 victory.[4] On 3 August 2010, Byers was suspended for breaching a team rule.[5] A week after his suspension was issued, the Montreal Impact announced the release of Byers from his contract for breaching club policy.[6]

Byers returned home to Antigua to join Parham in the Antigua and Barbuda Premier Division, before having a brief stint with the Antigua Barracuda FC in the USL Professional Division, during which he scored four goals in seven games. Byers transferred to the Los Angeles Blues on 3 June 2011.[7] Byers had a trial with V-league defending champions Song Lam Nghe An F.C. but was ultimately not offered a contract and returned to the Barracudas.[8][9]

Following the 2012 USL Pro season, Byers signed for Central FC of the TT Pro League.[10]

International career

Byers made his debut for Antigua and Barbuda in 2004,[11] and has played for them in 17 FIFA World Cup qualification matches, scoring 10 goals.[12]
