Playing career

Pearcey started his professional career at Mansfield Town at the age of 18 (although being with the club since age 15). He left to join Grimsby Town with a £10,000 transfer fee and stayed for three and a half years before a Bosman ruling transfer to Brentford where Jason played for two and a half years.

It was during the 2000–01 season that he sustained a bad leg injury which ended his professional career although he made three appearances for Conference National Forest Green Rovers. He has since then kept playing at non-league level making appearances at Southam United, his home town team Leamington and his last club the Southern League Premier side Rugby Town.

Jason is now specialises in goalkeeper coaching in Worcestershire and the West Midlands. He is qualified to Level 3 Outfield and Level 3 Goalkeeping status. He is currently working as first team Goalkeeping coach at Derby County, replacing Shay Given, and for soccer academy Just4Keepers.
