Pereira has been with Salgaocar F.C. since getting selected for its under-14 side through a trial at his school. With the Greens, the boy from Nuvem went on to win the GFA U14 league and the GFA U18 league.

In the 2016-2017 season, Sanson Pereira helped Salgaocar F.C. to win the Goa Professional League title in his first ever season for the Goan side following with a triumph in the Goa Sevens Cup. In 2018-2019, Pereira aided his side to win Assam Gold Cup.

“Sanson was a player we had our eye on for the best part of the year. His consistent performances with Salgaocar left us with no doubt that he was a player that could do well at a higher level,” FC Goa’s Director of Football Ravi Puskur said.

“He’s a player with an ability to endlessly run up and down the wing. Alongwith composed presence on the ball. I’m confident Sanson will adapt well to our style of football. He will make a real push to make the left back position his own.”
