A product of Real Madrid's youth system, Pérez became a professional in 1994 with the B team, before making his first main squad appearance the next season. While at Real Madrid he had a loan spell with CF Extremadura, leaving in 1997 to sign with Real Betis, and later played briefly in France for FC Girondins de Bordeaux, before signing with Deportivo de La Coruña in 1999.
With the Galicians, Pérez was a member of the 1999–2000 championship-winning squad, but only featured in three league matches throughout the season, making five league appearances in total, and later spent loan spells at CD Numancia and CD Leganés. He later played with Girona FC, retiring in 2005.
In arguably the finest moment of his career, Pérez scored the only goal in the 1998 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship final, as Spain downed Greece.[1]
Pérez is the younger brother of another footballer, Alfonso Pérez. Both began their career with Real Madrid, and played together for two seasons at Betis.[2]
