Born in Cabanillas del Campo, Guadalajara, Castile-La Mancha, Pérez was a CD Guadalajara youth graduate. After making his senior debut with the reserves, he made his first team debut on 8 December 2013, coming on as a late substitute for Álvaro Zazo in a 4–0 Segunda División B home routing of CP Cacereño.[1]
On 11 July 2014, Pérez extended his contract until 2017.[2] He was an ever-present figure during the season, as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs.
On 15 July 2015, Pérez signed a three-year contract with UD Almería, being initially assigned to the B-team also in the third level.[3] On 31 August 2017 he moved to another reserve team, Real Valladolid B in the same division.[4]
On 6 June 2018, Pérez renewed his contract with Valladolid until 2019.[5] The following day, he made his first team debut by coming on as a late substitute for Anuar Tuhami in a 3–1 home win against Sporting de Gijón, in the Segunda División play-offs.[6]
On 10 August 2019, Pérez signed for UD Ibiza still in division three,[7] and was a regular starter as his side achieved a first-ever promotion to the second level in 2021. He terminated his contract with the club on 29 August 2022,[8] and joined Burgos CF in the second level the following day.[9]
