On the first day of the match he made his debut for Hansa and in the Bundesliga in the away game in Munich and had played ten Bundesliga and two DFB-Pokal games by the winter break . In January 2008 he was temporarily retired by coach Frank Pagelsdorf , but still belonged to the squad of the Rostock Bundesliga club and from March 2008 ran again for FC Hansa, with whom he was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga at the end of the season. In April 2009, Pearce was again suspended by Andreas Zachhuber, who was now acting as a trainer, and assigned to the Rostock reserve team.
On September 2, 2009, Pearce signed a contract with the Turkish first division club Bursaspor , but only hours later it lost its validity due to the expired registration period at the Turkish Football Association. He then signed a contract with the American MLS franchise FC Dallas .

Before the start of the 2014 season, Pearce moved to league rivals Montreal Impact , where he was used 23 times. Pearce was selected by Orlando City in the MLS Expansion Draft in December 2014 . However, there was no final commitment.
Pearce signed on January 29, 2015 a contract until June 30, 2015 with the Swedish first division club IFK Göteborg . In Gothenburg he has so far only been used for the U-21 team in the U21 Allsvenskan Södra.
