Perry made his debut for Cambridge against Lancashire at Fenner's in April 1987, taking four wickets in the match including 3/73 in the first innings.[1] He bettered this with 3/56 (his career best) against Surrey in his next game.[2] His only other three-wicket haul was also against Surrey, 3/72 in June 1988,[3] although he did manage four wickets in a non-first-class game for Oxford and Cambridge Universities against the West Indians later that month.[4]

Perry is the great-grandson of Warwickshire captain and England and British Lions rugby union international J. F. Byrne.
