In the summer 2000, Wisgerhof sealed a five-year deal with NEC and clinched a place in the centre of defense from the very first season. During nine years the footballer performed for the club, he featured in 270 matches and amassed 16 goals.

In January 2009, Peter finalized a move to Twente and became a substitute for Robbie Wielaert, who transferred to Ajax. In the 2010/2011 season, the footballer was given the captain’s armband.
