Playing career[]

Perry spent his entire nine-year first-grade career with Canterbury. Perry played for them in their 2004 NRL grand final victory over cross-town rivals, the Sydney Roosters. As 2004 NRL premiers, Canterbury faced Super League IX champions, Leeds in the 2005 World Club Challenge. Perry played at hooker in Canterbury's 32–39 loss.[2]

Perry was captain-coach of his home-town club Junee Diesels for two years in the Group 9 competition of the New South Wales Country Rugby League. Perry was a co-coach for Group 9 club Wagga Brothers and is also was a development officer with the CRL.[3] Perry was assistant coach at the Gundagai Tigers in 2018 when they won the Group 9 premiership, and become head coach of that club from late September 2018.[4]
