He made his debut in Major League Soccer on April 17, 1998 in the game against Chicago Fire , which the New Yorkers won 1-0. He spent five years with the MetroStars, becoming the most constant player in his team, which during this time had to constantly change the entire team structure due to frequent coach and player changes. In addition, Petke went down in the history books of the club with the New York MetroStars, as he became the player who has completed the most games (134 league games or 157 games including cup and friendly games).
