Football career

Pérez was born in Madrid. During his career, spent mostly in the second division, he represented CD Onda (Villarreal CF's feeder club), Getafe CF, CD Numancia (appearing in 19 games in 2004–05's La Liga), Gimnàstic de Tarragona, Deportivo Alavés and Levante UD. He made his debut in the main category of Spanish football on 28 August 2004, coming on as a first-half substitute to help Numancia to a 1–1 home draw against Real Betis.[1]

Pérez contributed with 18 matches – only two complete, 842 minutes, no goals – in the 2009–10 season, as Levante returned to the top division after two years. Aged 30, he was released in the 2011 January transfer window, without no official appearances whatsoever in the first half of the campaign.[2]
