Club career

Born in Albacete, Castilla–La Mancha, Pérez played his first seasons as a senior in the Community of Madrid, representing amateurs Getafe CF B and AD Alcorcón B. In the 2008–09 season, he competed in the Segunda División B with the latter's first team.

In summer 2009, Pérez moved to Segunda División with SD Huesca.[1] He played his first game as a professional on 2 September in a 0–0 away draw against Levante UD in the Copa del Rey,[2] and scored his first league goal on 5 December of that year in the 2–1 home victory over Rayo Vallecano.[3]

Pérez signed for fellow league club Real Valladolid in July 2011, for three years.[4] He appeared in 44 matches in all competitions in his debut campaign, adding seven goals in the process as the Castile and León side returned to La Liga after two years.[5]

Pérez made his debut in the top flight on 20 August 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 win at Real Zaragoza.[6] He scored four goals during the season to help the team rank in 14th position and thus escape relegation, all from penalties.[7][8][9]

In the 2014 off-season, following Valladolid's relegation, Pérez renewed his contract for a further three years and was loaned to top-division club Levante until June 2016.[10] On 31 January 2015, however, his loan was cancelled.[11]

On 27 March 2015, Pérez transferred to the Chicago Fire FC on loan until June.[12] He only played two minutes in the Major League Soccer, against Toronto FC,[13] being released subsequently.[14]

Pérez moved to Córdoba CF also in the Spanish second tier in July 2015, in a season-long loan deal.[15] On 19 August 2016, he returned to his former team Alcorcón after agreeing to a one-year loan contract.[16]

On 9 September 2017, Pérez joined Wisła Kraków in the Polish Ekstraklasa.[17] On 2 March of the following year, he moved to the Indian Super League with Bengaluru FC on a short-term deal.[18]

In January 2019, Pérez signed with Lithuanian club FK Žalgiris.[19] He left 12 months later[20] and, on 12 February 2020, joined I-League club East Bengal Club as a replacement for his compatriot Martí Crespí.[21]

Pérez returned to Spain and its division three in January 2021, with the 33-year-old moving to CD El Ejido.[22] Thirteen months later, he signed for Atlètic Club d'Escaldes in the Andorran Primera Divisió.[23]
