Club career[]

Early career[]

Pepple was born in Kettering, Northamptonshire in 2002. There he played for youth club Oadby Owls. He moved to Calgary with his family at the age of five.[1][2]

Calgary Foothills[]

Pepple joined the youth programme of PDL side Calgary Foothills at the U10 level, and signed for the first team in 2019.[1] That season, he made eleven league appearances for the Foothills, scoring three goals, and would score another goal in one playoff appearance.[3]

In October 2018, Pepple participated in the Canadian Premier League open trials in Calgary and was the youngest participant countrywide at 15, but nonetheless made the first cut after day one.[4][5]

Cavalry FC[]

On 9 August 2019, Pepple signed his first professional contract with Canadian Premier League side Cavalry FC until the end of 2020.[1] On 10 August 2019, he made his debut as a substitute in a 0–0 draw against HFX Wanderers.[6][7] Pepple would be described as "exactly what the Canadian Premier League is built for", and praised by coaching staff shortly after signing with the club for his physical and mental acuity.[8] In November 2019, Cavalry would confirm that Pepple would return for the 2020 season.[9]

In October 2020 Cavalry announced Pepple would join Premier League club Sheffield United on a two-week trial.[10] Shortly after the conclusion of his time at Sheffield, he was invited to another Premier League trial, this time with Leicester City.[11] In March 2021, Pepple would officially announce his departure from Cavalry via his Instagram, indicating that he had joined the youth side of La Liga club Getafe.

Getafe[]

In March 2021, Pepple would score in his debut for Getafe's under-19 team.[12][13]

International career[]

In October 2019, Pepple was called to the Canada national under-17 team for friendlies against Argentina and Mexico.[14]
