Playing career

Peric, born in Denmark by Serbia parents, started his career as a youth player in the two Copenhagen-situated clubs Boldklubben 1893 and Kjøbenhavns Boldklub. His stay in KB resulted in the club winning the Danish Championship for youth teams in 2000, which draw a lot of attention to the talented team even from abroad. This resulted in Peric being offered a contract from the Germany Fußball-Bundesliga club Schalke 04. But the new surroundings proved difficult for the young Dane, who left Gelsenkirchen after two years and returned to Denmark. For a short period he turned his back to the life as a soccer player and concentrated on getting an education. But when his childhood club B93 offered him a contract, soccer again became his main priority. He then played one season in the club and later on joined Herfølge Boldklub. In 2005 Peric signed a contract with Vejle Boldklub, where he made his debut on August 3, 2005 against Hellerup IK.
