Cherrie signed for Clyde after impressing in a trial and a subsequent glamour friendly with Manchester United in July 2005, which saw him come up against Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney.

[4] Due to the good form of David Hutton, Cherrie didn't get a minute of first team action in the 2007–08 season, however, a series of good performances in Clyde's pre-season friendlies of 2008 saw him challenge Hutton for the #1 jersey, and he started his first competitive match for 18 months in August 2008.

Cherrie was released by Clyde in June 2009 along with the rest of the out of contract players, due to the club's financial position.

Peter signed for Bray Wanderers in July 2015 and made his debut keeping a clean sheet in their 1–0 win away at Limerick.

He played every game from then until the end of the season helping Bray to an 8th-place finish and an FAI Cup semi-final.
