Leyton
By August 2003, Peddie had joined Leyton of the Isthmian League - Division One North.

Cheshunt
It was revealed in March 2006 that Peddie had made a switch from Leyton, now of the Isthmian League - Premier Division, to Cheshunt in the Southern League - Premier Division.

Woodbridge Town
By the first few months of 2008, Peddie was turning out for Eastern Counties League - Premier Division outfit Woodbridge Town.

Boreham Wood
February 2008 saw Peddie complete a move to Boreham Wood. He first appeared for them as an unused substitute for a Isthmian League - Premier Division fixture with Billericay Town towards the end of the aforementioned month.

Redbridge
Ahead of the 2008–09 season, Peddie headed off to the Isthmian League - Division One North with Redbridge. After debuting on 16 August 2008 against Hillingdon Borough, the defender went onto make at least 29 appearances across his first campaign with *The Motormen* - which they concluded by placing 8th. In the succeeding 2009–10, Peddie participated 46 times across all competitions - his first match arrived on 15 August 2009 in a home league goalless draw with Wingate & Finchley, while his last came on 24 Apri 2010 in another 0–0 draw; this time against Concord Rangers away from home, as the finished 18th. During the first portion of the campaign, Peddie scored in a 10 October league loss at Ilford.

2010–11 turned out to be Peddie's last season with Redbridge, as he left it and the club in October 2010 following an appearance in an FA Trophy preliminary round victory at home to Chatham Town. By the time of his departure, the defender had become captain of *The Motormen* having appeared over 100 times.

East Thurrock United
In October 2010, East Thurrock United completed the signing of Peddie. He made his debut as a substitute on 23 October during a 2–2 draw in the Isthmian League - Division One North at Waltham Abbey, which preceded his first start arriving a week later against Ilford. Peddie ended the campaign with 18 appearances and 1 goal, which occurred on the final day of the season - which *The Rocks* ended with promotion as champions - in a 3–2 defeat to Ware at Wodson Park. The defender's first appearance at the level above came on 20 August 2011 as they secured all the points on the road to Tooting & Mitcham United. In total in 2011–12, Peddie featured heavily as he took part in 57 of the team's 63 competitive matches as they placed 11th.

Peddie was subsequently selected for 48 games in the following Isthmian League - Premier Division season of 2012–13, claiming their Player of the Match award twice on the way to making the promotion play-offs - though they would miss out to Lowestoft Town in the semi-final. 2013–14 would see *The Rocks* drop to 20th, as they avoided the drop by just 3 points as the defender took his overall appearance tally with East Thurrock United to 179. Peddie would add to his singular goal from 2010–11 by netting 3 times across 2014–15, opening his account on 20 September 2014 in a league defeat to Hampton & Richmond Borough before notching further versus Canvey Island (on 2 December) and Billericay Town (on New Year's Day 2015).

After a mid-table finish in that 2014–15 campaign, *The Rocks* shot up the table in 2015–16 as Peddie made 28 appearances as the club finished inside the play-offs, which they would come out of victorious after defeating Tonbridge Angels and Dulwich Hamlet for a spot in the National League South. Despite this, Peddie would depart East Thurrock United during the subsequent off-season.

Tilbury
After promotion to the National League South with East Thurrock United for 2016–17, Peddie would spend the first half of that season in the Isthmian League - Division One North with Tilbury. His first competitive appearance came as a starter in a 13 August 2016 draw at home to Thurrock. The defender netted his sole goal for *The Dockers* on 20 October during a 3–2 league defeat at Haringey Borough. 14 January 2017 saw Peddie feature for the 26th time for Tilbury in a 1–1 home draw versus the same opponents, which turned out to be his final match for them.

East Thurrock United (return)
In early 2017, Peddie rejoined East Thurrock United of the National League South. He made his first step 2 career appearance in a 18 February victory over Hampton & Richmond Borough at Rookery Hill, which preceded further matches that month against Margate and Poole Town. *The Rocks* would go on to secure a mid-table placing, as Peddie appeared 14 times in total. The club would finish in a similar position in the succeeding 2017–18, a season in which Peddie would participate in 27 matches in all competitions. His final appearance for them arrived on 28 April 2018 as they lost at home to Hungerford Town. In May, the club announced that Peddie had been invited back for pre-season but that he hadn't yet accepted - and wouldn't.

Tilbury (return)
Peddie sealed a return to Tilbury at the beginning of 2018–19. He debuted for the second time in the Isthmian League - North Division on 11 August 2018 in a four-goal home loss to AFC Sudbury. The defender remained until the end of the succeeding October, appearing for the last occasion on 30 October as they shipped thrice at home to Bowers & Pitsea; having been sent off in his penultimate match at Bury Town on 27 October.

Montserrat
In 2014, Peddie was called up internationally by Montserrat. He would win 2 caps for them, with both occurring during qualification for the 2014 Caribbean Cup. He started a win over the US Virgin Islands on 30 May, prior to starting a 3 June draw with Bonaire as they narrowly missed out on progression into the next qualifying round.

### HTU

2018–19
On 30 November 2018, HTU officialised the arrival of Peddie. The move reunited him with Jay Devereux, who he played alongside at Enfield around 2002 and under (with Devereux as assistant manager) him during his stints at East Thurrock United. He made his bow for *The Tags* on 1 December as they lost a London Senior Trophy second round encounter to Bridon Ropes after extra time. The defender's first Thurlow Nunn League - Division One South appearance arrived days later on 4 December at Coles Park against Lopes Tavares London. By the season's conclusion, Peddie had appeared 19 times as they won promotion as champions to the Essex Senior League. However, his personal season came to a premature end after picking up an injury in a 23 March 2019 win on the road to Wormley Rovers.

2019–20
Peddie returned from his preceding season injury on 11 September 2019, as he started an Essex Thames-Side Trophy first round loss to Brentwood Town at the EMR Stadium. Further appearances followed that month against Frenford (cup) and Ilford (league). Overall, Peddie played 15 times between September and March 2020 - a month that saw the season curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2020–21
The start of 2020–21 would see Peddie feature in a pre-season campaign for *The Tags* for the first time, as he took part in encounters with Great Wakering Rovers and Stanway Rovers across August 2020 - in the latter match, he notched his one and only HTU assist as he set up Samraj Gill's winner in a 2–1 win at The Hawthorns. A 4–0 triumph over Ilford on 5 September saw Peddie make his opening competitive appearance of the campaign, which also suffered a COVID-19 pandemic-enforced curtailment after the defender had featured 12 times in total. HTU would, however, receive promotion to the Isthmian League - North Division during the off-season.

2021–22
Having appeared in half of HTU's 10 pre-season matches to start the campaign, Peddie was selected for his first competitive bow in 2021–22 on 15 August 2021 as they drew their Isthmian League - North Division opener 1–1 at the Len Salmon Stadium to Coggeshall Town. Up until early November, the defender had made 11 appearances for Jay Devereux's side but would only feature 4 more times across the second half of the season; having spent a portion of it out on loan to Frenford, an Essex Senior League club that he would go on to join permanently at the campaign's conclusion. Peddie's departure from *The Tags* was officially revealed on 29 April 2022, having made 66 appearances since arriving in late-2018.
