Club career

Perez started his career with College Europa and joined Manchester 62 in 2008, after a short stint at Lynx. In 2013 he moved to fellow league team Lincoln Red Imps, being champion of the League, the Cup and the League Cup.

In October 2014 Perez rescinded with Lincoln, due to the lack of first team action,[1] and joined Lions Gibraltar shortly after.

In April 2015, Perez joined League 2 Side Wycombe Wanderers on a weeks training, despite interest from Ipswich Town.

He currently plays for St Joseph's F.C..

International career

Perez made his international debut with Gibraltar on 19 November 2013 in a 0-0 home draw with Slovakia.[2] This was Gibraltar's first game since being admitted to UEFA.[3] On 13 June 2015, Perez made arguably the save of his career by saving a penalty from German captain Bastian Schweinsteiger in a match against Germany in a European Qualifier to prevent Gibraltar from going 1-0 down.[4] Despite Germany going on to win the game 7-0, Perez was impressed with his team's performance and described his penalty save as 'surreal'.[5]

Perez is a Fireman for the City Fire Brigade Gibraltar.[6]
