Adrian Robert James Pettigrew (born 12 November 1986) is an English former professional footballer who played as a central defender in the Football League for Brentford, Rotherham United and Wycombe Wanderers. A product of the Chelsea academy, he dropped into non-League football after his release in 2008.

Club career

[edit]

Chelsea

[edit]

A central defender, Pettigrew began his career in the Chelsea academy and turned professional in March 2005.[3] Despite captaining the reserve team during the 2005–06 season,[3] Pettigrew failed to win a call into a first team squad before his release in May 2007.[4]

Wycombe Wanderers (loan)

[edit]

In August 2006, Pettigrew was set to join League Two club Wycombe Wanderers on loan, but the deal was put on hold due to injury.[3] He finally joined the club on 5 March 2007, on loan until the end of the 2006–07 season, as cover for the injured Mike Williamson.[3] Pettigrew made just one appearance for the Chairboys, with a start in a 1–0 defeat to Bristol Rovers on 27 March and he was substituted for Chris Palmer at half time.[5] The loan was ended early on 17 April.[6]

Brentford (loan)

[edit]

On 10 August 2007, Pettigrew joined newly relegated League Two club Brentford on a one-month loan,[7] which was later extended for two further months.[8][9] He was an ever-present in the Bees' opening 11 matches of the season and finished his spell on 11 November, with 14 appearances.[10][11]

Rotherham United (loan)

[edit]

On 31 January 2008, Pettigrew joined League Two club Rotherham United on loan until the end of the 2007–08 season.[12] The financially stricken club went into administration on 18 March and Pettigrew's loan was ended early on 3 April 2008,[13][14] after he had made just four appearances.[11]

Non-league football

[edit]

After rejecting the chance to join Zulte Waregem and trialling with AEK Athens,[15][16] Pettigrew had short spells in non-League football with Cheshunt, Bishop's Stortford and A.F.C. Sudbury during the 2008–09 season.[4][17][18] He later played for Middlesex County League First Division Central & East club West End during the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons.[19][20]

International career

[edit]

Pettigrew was capped by England at U16 and U17 level.[4] He was a part of the U17 team which won the 2002 Nordic U17 Championship.[21]
