Club career
Ústí nad Labem
Peterka made his debut in the Czech National Football League for Ústí nad Labem in September 2011. Joining the game against Karviná as a second-half substitute, he scored an injury-time goal as Ústi won 4–2.[1] Ústi went on to win the 2011–12 Czech 2. Liga, but were not promoted.[2] In July 2014 he tore a thigh muscle, with the injury causing him to miss a number of weeks of the season.[3] He scored his club's first goal of the 2019–20 season, finding the net in a 4–1 loss against Vyšehrad at Strahov in the second game of the campaign.[4] Peterka stayed at the club for ten years, becoming the club captain. He made 226 league appearances, all in the Czech second tier, and scored 7 goals for the side.[2]
Dukla Prague
Peterka joined Dukla Prague of the second league in February 2021, signing a three-year contract.[5] He cited his desire to gain promotion as part of the reason behind the move.[2] Dukla secured promotion to the First League in May 2024, with two matches remaining.[6] Already the captain at the club, in July 2024 Peterka was among a number of Dukla players who extended their contracts with the Prague-based team.[7] He scored his first Czech First League goal in May 2025 at the age of 35, scoring from a shot outside the penalty area in a 2–2 draw with Teplice, the side for which he played youth team football.[8] Across two seasons, he made a total of 35 appearances in the Czech First League for Dukla, scoring three goals.[9]
