Michael Alexander Petrasso (born 9 July 1995) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays for Canadian Premier League side Valour FC as a winger or fullback.

Born in Toronto, Petrasso started his career at the academy of Major League Soccer side Toronto FC. In 2012, Petrasso moved to English club Queens Park Rangers. He joined Oldham Athletic on loan from QPR in November 2013. He joined Coventry City on a loan from QPR on 14 February 2014.

Petrasso was born in Toronto, and grew up in Woodbridge, just north of Toronto. He started playing youth football at the age of three for local junior club Kleinburg SC. He joined TFC Academy, the youth setup of Major League Soccer side Toronto FC at the age of fifteen.

Petrasso began his career at Canadian club Toronto FC, where he played at youth level as a part of the TFC Academy. In 2012, he departed from the club, along with teammates Keven Alemán and Dylan Carreiro, after falling out of favour with the academy, while under manager Aron Winter. Petrasso and Carreiro trained with Canadian Soccer League club SC Toronto after their exit from Toronto FC, shortly before both moving to English Premier League side Queens Park Rangers.

QPR
In his first season at QPR, Petrasso was an integral member of the squad that won the Professional Development League 2 at under-18 level, while also making several appearances for the under-21 side in the same season.

After continuing his good form into the 2013–14 season with the under-21 squad, Petrasso was rewarded with a loan move to League One side Oldham Athletic on 22 November 2013. He made his senior début the following day in a league match against Gillingham, in which he started the match and scored the sole goal of the game. Petrasso's two – month loan with Oldham Athletic ended on 18 January 2014, returning to Loftus Road after some excellent performances, appearing 15 times and scoring one goal which was on his debut for the club.

On 14 February 2014, Petrasso joined League One side Coventry City on an initial 28-day loan. He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 defeat to Tranmere Rovers. On 13 March 2014, Petrasso extended his loan stay with the Sky Blues until 16 March 2014 to cover the match scheduled against Port Vale, with a view to extending the loan further until the end of the 2013–14 season. At the end of his loan spell, Petrasso had made 7 appearances scoring 1 goal.

On 7 April 2014, Petrasso signed a new three-year contract with QPR. He made his Queens Park Rangers first team debut on the 3rd of May 2014, in a 3–2 final game of the season win against Barnsley replacing Yossi Benayoun as a substitute in the 76th minute.

After failing to make QPR's 25-man squad in the Premier League for the 2014–15 season, Petrasso was loaned out to gain further experience at Leyton Orient on 11 September 2014 on a one-month loan, until 7 October 2014. Petrasso made his debut on 13 September 2014 in a 2–0 defeat at home to Colchester United in which he started, but was however later substituted in the 69th minute by Jobi McAnuff.

Petrasso moved to Notts County on a 93-day emergency day loan on October 14, 2014. He made his debut on October 18, replacing Zeli Ismail in the 74th minute in a 5-3 victory over Crawley Town. He scored his first goals for Notts County in a 3-2 victory over Barnsley on 21 October.

Since then, Petrasso has continued to show excellent form, scoring his third goal in just five appearances since joining Notts County, as his side fell 2-1 to Yeovil Town in League One on Saturday, 22 November 2014.

Petrasso stayed at Loftus Road going into the 2015-2016 season. He made his full debut with the side on 28 November 2015, starting against Leeds United.

Petrasso picked up a long term injury in the pre-season of the 2016-2017 season and after 9 months out injured Petrasso made his return to the Rangers first team by replacing Darnell Furlong in a 1-0 defeat away to Aston Villa.
