Career
Perkins was a member of the youth academy of Nottingham Forest from under-8 level. After progressing through the youth ranks, during the 2023-24 season he made 19 appearances in Premier League 2 as well as three starts in the EFL Trophy and signed a new one-year professional contract with the club.[4] He made three further EFL Trophy appearances the following season, prior to training with EFL League One club Northampton Town for the last week of the 2024-25 season. He subsequently signed for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2025, agreeing a two-year contract.[5]
Northampton Town
He featured for Northampton at both wingback and in central midfield during their preseason fixtures.[6] He made his league debut for Northampton as part of a back-five on 2 August 2025, away against Wigan Athletic in League One, in a 3-1 defeat.[7] On 8th November 2025, Perkins scored his first senior goal in a 2-1 win over Mansfield Town. He was considered by many fans to be the most improved player across the season, deputising as Left Back, Left Wing-Back and Left Winger throughout the season. His first season was cut short by injury.[8]
