I heard that he was part of the youth team at Liverpool, but left for Accrington Stanley in September 2001 after realising he did not have a future at Anfield.

He was appointed as captain soon after joining in 2001, and scored 22 goals in 226 league games in an eight-year career. He skippered the club to the Northern Premier League Cup and Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy in 2002, the Northern Premier League title in 2002–03, and Conference National title in 2005–06.

Ban from football[edit]
In July 2009, Accrington players Jay Harris, Robert Williams, David Mannix, and Andrew Mangan received 5–12-month bans for betting against their own club.[3] Cavanagh's case was held at a later date.[4] On 7 April 2009 Cavanagh was charged by the FA for breaching betting rules, being alleged to have placed a £5 bet on Accrington losing to Bury in the last match of the 2008–09 season. Bury won the match 2–0.[5] On 10 August 2009, he was fined £3,500 and suspended from competitive football for eight months.[6]

Return to football with Fleetwood Town[edit]
Following the end of his ban, Cavanagh signed with Fleetwood Town in June 2010.[7]

Rochdale[edit]
On 8 June 2012, Cavangh joined Football League Two side Rochdale on a free transfer, linking up with former manager John Coleman.[8]

Altrincham[edit]
After his release from Rochdale, Peter joined Altrincham.[9]

Southport[edit]
He then signed for southport in May 2015 as a player coach along side manager Paul Carden.

Honours[edit]
with Accrington Stanley
What only a fiver bet on his own team to lose and he got caught?
Did he play the match and put the bet on himself I wonder..
Anyways doesn't seem very bright to be a coach so maybe he's been earmarked for a future role on the board. Bizarre appointment
 
Strange appointment. Doesn't look like the sort of character you would want around younger players. But he is a "blue" now and has to be given a fair chance. Good luck to him. Have to say that was a horror tackle.
