In January 1978, the expansion New England Tea Men selected Pearson in the North American Soccer League draft.[1] He played only two games during the 1978 season, but saw five games at the beginning of the 1979 season when the first string goalkeeper Kevin Keelan broke his hand in the pre-season.[2]
