Paul Perez (born 26 July 1986) is a Samoan rugby union player, currently playing with Castres Olympique.[1]
He started playing his rugby in New Zealand, playing for Taranaki from 2006 to 2009, where he was also their leading try-scorer in 2008. However, after being convicted of assault, he was deported back to Samoa in 2010.[2] He looked set to join RC Toulon in the French Top 14 competition, but visa problems prevented him from making the move to France[3] and he joined the Eastern Province Kings instead for their title-winning 2010 Currie Cup First Division season.[4], however an injury ruled him out of the entire 2011 season.
In January 2012, he signed a six-month deal as a medical joker for Top 14 team Castres Olympique.[5]
