Biography

Karpeh was the Football West State League top goal scorer in 2007 playing for Floreat Athena where he won the club's Fairest & Best Award.

A-League club Perth Glory signed Karpeh during the 2007/2008 season playing seven games for the club.

Karpeh trialled with A-League club Newcastle Jets in September 2007 but a contract was not negotiated between Karpeh and the club.

Scoring many goals for his next clubs he then made a decision in 2011 to move to India and play for Churchill Brothers and become winner of the 2011 IFA Shield Cup with them.[2][3][4]

Next year found him in Indonesia having a complete season with 23 games and 7 goals scored for Persisam Putra Samarinda.

In August 2012 Jerry received invitation to travel in Iran and negotiate a contract with Sanat Naft but a contract wasn't established due to visa problems.

Lately in January 2013 returned to India for the second time and signed a five-month contract until end of season to play for Pune FC and scored his first goal by opening the score in club's biggest win ever against United Sikkim. In the I-League match against Shillong Lajong F.C. on 25 March, he was brought in as a substitute for Pierre Djidjia Douhou on the 46th minute, and he equalised from a Jeje Lalpekhlua pass on the 51st minute, and then equalised again on the 59th minute from an Othallo Tabia cross to ensure a 2-2 draw.
