Career
Perrin is a youth exponent from Lyon. He made his Ligue 1 debut at 14 February 2016 against Stade Malherbe Caen replacing Alexandre Lacazette after 88 minutes in a 4–1 home win.[3] On 19 March 2016, he scored his first professional goal two minutes after having come onto the pitch, thereby helping his club to a 2–0 win against Nantes.[4]
On 9 January 2017, it was announced that Perrin would join Ligue 2 side US Orléans on loan until the end of the season.[5] Nine days later, however, the loan was invalidated by the National Directorate of Management Control's decision to prohibit recruitment by Orléans. The club subsequently sold Jean-Eudes Aholou and appealed the ban.[6] Perrin eventually joined Orléans on a season-long loan on 21 June 2017.[7] In January 2018 the loan was made permanent when Perrin signed a three-and-a-half-year contract.[8]
On 23 July 2025, Russian Premier League club Krasnodar announced the signing of Perrin from Auxerre, to a three-year contract.[9]
On 2 February 2026, Perrin returned to France and signed a two-and-a-half-season contract with Lille.[10]
