Rugby career

Perry signed for English club Exeter Chiefs Women in 2024, after playing 14 league matches for the club in a stint in 2020.[5][6]
Having been picked as a travelling reserve for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, Perry was drafted into the side as an injury replacement for Krissy Scurfield during the tournament.[7] The team won a silver medal, coming from 0-12 behind to defeat Australia 21-12 in the semi-finals,[8] before losing the final to New Zealand.[9][10]
