Perrett was born in Bournemouth and started his career with Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic in 1937, before moving to join Huddersfield for the 1938–39 season, making only one appearance. He returned to the south coast to join Southampton in time for the 1939–40 season and played in all three of "Saints"[1] matches before the season was abandoned upon the outbreak of the Second World War. In the few matches he played (at outside left) it was reported that he "combined well" with Ted Bates on his inside.[2]

He made a further 18 appearances in wartime matches (with 4 goals).
