Club career

Early career

Born in Cartagena, Pérez made his senior debuts with Real Cartagena in 2008. In 2012 he moved abroad, signing with China League One team Chongqing Lifan, but returned to his home country only a year later, after agreeing to a deal with Independiente Medellín.[1]

On 12 December 2013 Pérez moved to Independiente Santa Fe.[2] On 26 May of the following year he joined Portuguesa,[3] but only appeared rarely for Lusa.

Litex Lovech

On 11 January 2015, Pérez signed with Bulgarian side Litex Lovech, being given the number 5 jersey. He made his debut for the club on 28 February, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Ludogorets Razgrad. On 12 December 2015, he was sent off after an altercation with Miguel Bedoya in a heated A PFG match that was eventually abandoned after the Litex players were ordered off the pitch.[4]
