Pearson made his only first-class appearance for Glamorgan in the 1922 County Championship against Nottinghamshire.[1] He bowled 4 overs in Nottinghamshire's first-innings, though he didn't take any wickets. In Glamorgan's first-innings, he scored 9 runs before being dismissed by Len Richmond. In their second-innings, he was dismissed for a duck by Fred Barratt, becoming one of Barratt's 8 victims in that innings, as a Glamorgan side in its second season of first-class cricket capitulated to 47 all out, to lose by an innings and 125 runs.[2]

He died in Porthcawl, Glamorgan on 14 September 1971.
