Perone played eight Campeonato Brasileiro Série A games for Figueirense, having scored one goal.[1]
On 11 August 2011, Perone joined Queens Park Rangers on a one-year deal.[2][3] He made his debut for QPR on 23 August 2011 in a League Cup loss against Rochdale. Four days later, he made his Premier League debut playing the entire match against Wigan Athletic.
On 6 June 2012, it was announced that Perone has left Queens Park Rangers.[citation needed]
25 October 2012, Nottingham Forest manager Sean O'Driscoll announced a "mystery signing". News broke on social networking site Twitter that Perone was on trial with Nottingham Forest; however, nothing came of this trial period. In January 2013, he signed for Linense.[citation needed]
On 17 August 2015, he signed for Indian Super League franchise Kerala Blasters FC.[4] The following 23 February, he joined United Soccer League side Wilmington Hammerheads.[5]
On 7 January 2017, free agent Perone agreed to a six-month contract with Segunda División side Gimnàstic de Tarragona, after impressing on a trial basis.[6] On 31 January of the following year, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with fellow league team Real Zaragoza, after cutting ties with Nàstic.[7]
On 24 January 2019, Perone was loaned to Extremadura UD, still in the Spanish second division.[8] After narrowly avoiding relegation, he signed a permanent two-year contract with the club due to an obligatory clause in the previous loan deal,[9] but returned to Nàstic on loan on 8 August.[10]
On 17 January 2020, Perone moved to fellow third division side Hércules CF on loan for the remainder of the campaign.[11]
