Club career

Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Perera joined CD Tenerife's youth setup in 2013, from SD San José.[2] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 24 October 2020, starting in a 2–1 Interinsular Preferente de Tenerife away loss against UD Las Zocas.[3]

Perera first appeared with the reserves in Tercera División on 8 November 2020, in a 1–2 loss at CD Mensajero.[4] Six days later, he scored his first senior goal, netting the C's third in a 5–2 home routing of Real Unión Tenerife,[5] and started training with the main squad late in the month.[6]

On 15 December 2020, at the age of 17 years, 7 months and 3 days,[2] Perera made his first team debut, coming on as a substitute for fellow youth graduate Javi Alonso in the extra time of a 2–0 away success over Sestao River Club, for the season's Copa del Rey.[7][8] The following 21 July, he renewed his contract until 2025.[9]

After helping the B-team in their promotion to Segunda Federación, Perera made his professional debut for Tete on 26 May 2024, replacing José María Amo late into a 1–1 Segunda División away draw against Burgos CF.[10][11]
