Perera was born in Olivenza, Province of Badajoz. A prolific scorer in the second division, notably scoring 22 league goals for Albacete Balompié in the 2002–03 season, he struggled to maintain the same rate in the top flight in his four La Liga campaigns (two with both RCD Mallorca and RC Celta de Vigo). His best input came in 2003–04, as he netted six times for the Balearic Islands club.
