[edit] Career

[edit] Early days

Pericard started his career at St Etienne but soon came to the attention of Juventus, who snapped up the promising youngster.

A striker, Péricard came to the notice of Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp after impressing for Italian club Juventus against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League.

[edit] Portsmouth

Péricard initially moved to Portsmouth on loan for the 2002–03 season.[1] Péricard began his Portsmouth career in superb fashion, scoring on his debut in a 2–0 win over Nottingham Forest, although he struggled with injury in the latter half of the season. Despite this, he impressed enough to earn a permanent switch in July 2003, having scored nine times in 32 games as Pompey won the Division One title.

Péricard was a regular in the side at the start of the 2003–-04 season, but broke down with a torn thigh muscle in late September. He returned to the first team in December, but then badly damaged a cruciate ligament in a reserve comeback game. The injury ended his season. He had an operation on the injury in France in the summer of 2004, and spent the whole of the 2004–05 season in rehabilitation following the surgery. In August 2005, following his recovery, he attended a Cameroon national team training camp for a friendly match against French amateur team Villemomble.

In 2005–06 Péricard returned to the first-team squad at Fratton Park. In order to gain match fitness he spent a three month loan spell with Sheffield United,[2] scoring twice against Millwall[3] and Luton,[4] before joining Plymouth Argyle in February 2006 for the remainder of the season.[5] He scored his first English hat-trick for Plymouth Argyle in a 3–1 win over Coventry City on 18 February 2006.[6] He was recalled to Portsmouth in May 2006.

[edit] Stoke City

Péricard was released by Portsmouth at the end of the 2005–06 season, signing a three-year contract with Stoke City on a free transfer on 19 June 2006.[7] Péricard was Tony Pulis' first signing as manager of Stoke City, in Pulis' second spell at the club. At first, Péricard impressed at Stoke, scoring against promotion winners Derby on his home début.[8] He also scored in the League Cup against Darlington,[9] and again in the league against Sunderland.[10] However, his performances later in the season were relatively poor and his place was taken by another former Portsmouth player, Ricardo Fuller.

On 24 August 2007 Pericard was sentenced to four months in prison after being found guilty of perverting the course of justice.[11] This came after he lied about being the driver of a car caught speeding at 103mph near Plymouth. He was released from prison on 20 September 2007[12] but, following problems with his electronic tag, he was rearrested on 12 October 2007,[13] although he was subsequently re-released later that month.[14] On 14 March 2008, Southampton confirmed the loan signing of Pericard until the end of the season.[15] Upon his return to Stoke, he scored against Reading in a Carling Cup tie in September 2008.[16]

Pericard made his first Premier League appearance in 0-0 draw with Fulham on 13 December 2008, he came on as a substitute for Danny Pugh. His first start in the Premier League came against Blackburn Rovers. Pericard, after seeing his first team opportunities disappear at Stoke following their promotion to the Premier League, signed a 93-day loan on 20 February 2009 with Millwall.[17] Following the 2008-09 season, Péricard was released from his contract at Stoke.[18]

[edit] Carlisle United

Following his release, he had short trials with Championship sides Bristol City, Cardiff City and Blackpool.[19] On 13 October 2009 Péricard signed for Carlisle United on deal until January 2010, making his debut on 17 October against Yeovil Town. Pericard scored his first goal for the Cumbrian's on his home debut against Southend United.[20]

[edit] International career

Vincent Péricard has represented the French U21 side at international level.[17]
