Club career
Perth Glory
Pearman signed a scholarship deal with Perth Glory for the 2023–24 season.[1] His deal was extended for another season in June 2024.[2]
Pearman made his senior debut for the club on 23 July 2024 in the play-off for the Australia Cup, a 4–2 win over Brisbane Roar; he came on as a 74th-minute substitute for David Williams. His first A-League Men game came the following 3 January, assisting the first goal by Adam Taggart in a 3–2 home loss to Western United; he was called the "future of the club" by manager David Zdrilic.[3] Eight days later, he scored the only goal of a win over leaders Auckland FC also at the Perth Rectangular Stadium, in his third league game for the club.[4] In the same month as his professional league debut, he was linked with a move to EFL Championship club Queens Park Rangers.[5]
Queens Park Rangers
On 19 June 2025, having been previously linked with the club, Pearman completed a move to EFL Championship side Queens Park Rangers, initially joining with the club's Development Squad.[6][7]
International career
Pearman was one of three Perth players called up for the Australia under-20 team at the 2025 AFC U-20 Asian Cup in China.[8] He scored the second goal of a 2–0 semi-final win over Japan,[9] and a penalty in the 5–4 shootout win over Saudi Arabia in the final on 1 March, as Australia won the title for the first time.[10]
