Perry was part of the
Queensland Cup playing for the
Logan Scorpions in 1998, winning the
Rothmans medal for best and fairest player that year. Perry started out his first-grade rugby league career with
Western Suburbs in 1999 and played in the club's last ever game as a first grade side which was a 60–16 loss against the
Auckland Warriors at
Campbelltown Stadium. Perry then joined
Canterbury-Bankstown and played with the club for two seasons. He then played for the Queensland Cup team
Redcliffe Dolphins, winning their player of the year award in 2002 and also captaining the side in 2005. Perry was then brought into the
Brisbane Broncos camp/squad to provide cover during the
State of Origin period where the Broncos are traditionally hit hardest with extra playing duties and/or injuries. Perry became the number one , when team-mate
Brett Seymour had his contract with the club terminated for disciplinary reasons. Perry's ability to complement captain
Darren Lockyer on-field relieved some pressure from the captain. Perry's form continued to improve and he played at half-back in the Broncos'
2006 NRL Grand Final victory. As 2006 NRL Premiers, the
Brisbane Broncos travelled to England to face 2006
Super League champions,
St Helens R.F.C. in the
2007 World Club Challenge. Perry played at halfback in the Broncos' 14–18 loss. After mixed years in 2007 and 2008, he signed with French
Super League team
Catalans Dragons for the 2009 season. Perry was one of the few NRL players that mixed a
rugby league career with a job. He scored 60 tries and a total of 261 points for the
Redcliffe Dolphins in the
Queensland Cup. Perry also played for
Norths Devils of the
Queensland Cup. ==References==
