Club career

edit

Born in El Palmar, Murcia, Pérez was a product of CF Rayo Majadahonda's youth setup.[citation needed] He made his debut as a senior in the 2011–12 campaign, in Tercera División.[citation needed]

In January 2012, he moved to fellow league team La Hoya Lorca CF.[1]

In the 2013 summer he went on a trial with Atlético Madrid B, and signed a two-year contract shortly after.[2] In June 2014, after receiving offers from La Liga sides Getafe CF and UD Almería and from Segunda División's CD Tenerife, he renewed his link with the club for a further year.[3] On 18 December 2014 Pérez made his Atlético Madrid first team debut, starting in a 2–2 home draw against CE L'Hospitalet, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4]

On 29 January 2016, he moved to another reserve team, Getafe CF B also in the third division.[5]

In 2016, he signed with Tercera División club CF Lorca Deportiva and helped them earn promotion to the Segunda División B.[6]

The following season, he remained in the Tercera División, signing with Yeclano Deportivo in September 2017.[7]

In July 2018, he signed with SS Reyes in the Segunda División B.[8] At the end of the season, he departed the club.[9]

In May 2019, Pérez returned to his birth city and joined Real Murcia of the Segunda División B.[10][11] He rejected other offers in order to join the club,[12] stating that he had to listen to his heart and think of his family.[13] He missed much of the 2020-21 season due to a recurring injury.[14]

In June 2021, he re-joined SS Reyes.[15]

On 11 May 2022, Pérez joined Canadian Premier League side Atlético Ottawa on a short-term loan from SS Reyes until 30 June.[16][17] Following the expiration of his loan, he signed a permanent contract for the rest of the season, with an option for 2023 with Ottawa.[18]

In December 2022, it was announced that he was returning to Spain to join Segunda Federación club Mar Menor in 2023.[19][20]

In August 2023, he signed with Yeclano in the Segunda Federación.[21][22]

In July 2024, he signed with Swiss club Zürich City SC in the sixth tier 2. Liga.[23]
