Benjamin Marshall Perry (born 11 October 2004[ citation needed ]) is an English professional footballer who plays for EFL League One club Northampton Town on loan from Nottingham Forest, as a midfielder. [1]
A product of the Nottingham Forest youth academy, he played for the club in Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy during the 2023–2024 and 2024–25 seasons. [2] [3] [4] On 3 February 2025, he moved on loan to League One club Northampton Town for the rest of the season. [5] He made his senior debut for Northampton on 7 February 2025, coming off the bench in the second half in a 1-0 win against Mansfield Town in EFL League One. [6] [7]
After signing him on loan in February 2025, Northampton manager Kevin Nolan praised his versatility in central midfield saying he has the ability to "sit” as well to "go box-to-box" and that he can also play a little further forward “because of his brain and his quality and his work-rate and enthusiasm and tenacity, he can bring something to that role a bit higher”.
