2014

In 2014, Perrett graduated to Canterbury's New South Wales Cup team. [14]

On 3 May, he again played for the Queensland under-20s team against the New South Wales under-20s team. [15]

In Round 15 of the 2014 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for Canterbury against the Canberra Raiders, playing off the interchange bench in the clubs 22-14 win at Canberra Stadium. [16] [17] [18] In Round 23 against arch-rivals the Parramatta Eels, he suffered a season ending ankle injury in Canterbury's 18-16 win at ANZ Stadium. [19] He finished off his debut year in the NRL, having played in eight matches for the Canterbury club. [20] On 1 December, he re-signed with Canterbury on a four-year contract. [21] [22] [23]

2015

On 31 January and 1 February, Perrett played for Canterbury in the 2015 NRL Auckland Nines. [24] [25] He finished off the 2015 season having played in 14 games for the Canterbury club. [26]

2016

On 12 January, Perrett was selected in the QAS Emerging Maroons squad. [27]

In September, he was named on the interchange bench in the 2016 Intrust Super Premiership NSW Team of the Year. [28]

On 9 December, he signed a three-year contract with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles starting in 2017, after being released from the final 2 years of his Bulldogs contract. [29]

2017

Perrett was named in the Sea Eagles squad for the 2017 NRL Auckland Nines. [30]

He made his NRL debut for Manly against the Parramatta Eels in round one of the 2017 season. [31]

In round 23 against the Wests Tigers, Perrett scored his first NRL career try in Manly's 26-30 loss at Leichhardt Oval. [32]

2018

Perrett suffered a heat stroke during pre-season testing and was rushed to hospital. [33] Perrett was unable to complete the majority of the 2018 pre-season. He managed to play 13 games in the 2018 season, averaging a light 18 minutes per game. [34]

He was also the only Manly player happy to see the exit of Coach Trent Barrett, as it appeared Perrett was not accustomed to Barrett's coaching style. [35]

2019

Alike the previous season, Perrett spent most of his 2019 pre-season on the bench due to lack of fitness with completing Hasler's training regimes. Perrett was off-contract beyond 2019.

On 6 May, Perrett was selected for the Canterbury Cup NSW residents side to play against the Queensland residents representative team. [39]

Perrett featured in both of Manly's finals matches after the club finished in 6th place at the end of the regular season. Perrett started both games from the bench as Manly reached the second week of the finals series before they were eliminated by South Sydney 34-26 at ANZ Stadium. [40] [41]

In November 2019, it was announced that Perrett had been released by Manly-Warringah. [42] On 26 November, it was revealed that Perrett was on a train and trial contract with the Brisbane Broncos. [43]

Post NRL

Perrett on May 1 2024 said he had sought legal advice to sue his former team Manly-Warringah after suffering his heat stroke which ultimately ended his NRL career after he suffered a seizure during a pre-season training session after being denied water during training. Perrett had said he was launching legal action to hold the training staff accountable because of what happened to Keith Titmuss being Perrett's final straw. Perrett said he has been wracked with survivors guilt since and speaks regularly with a therapist, and paperwork with the courts would be actioned in the coming months. [44] [45] On September 18 2024, it was announced that Perrett had taken steps in moving forward with suing the Manly club and his legal team requested documents of Perrett's time playing for Manly.
