Zooey Elizabeth Regina Perry (born 22 September 1996) is a British handball player who plays for Skedsmo HK, a team based in Skedsmokorset, Norway, and compete in the Norwegian 3rd division (4th tier).
Upon starting her undergraduate degree at Middlesex University, Perry joined the Women's Handball team.[1] Initially, she played in the right-back/wing position due to being a left-handed thrower but moved to the goalkeeping position towards the end of the season due to injuries. In the 2016–2017 season, the team lost the LUSL (London University Sports Leagues) Handball League to UCL.
In Perry's second season, she was named the captain of the Women's team. The team were crowned champions of the LUSL Handball League in 2017–2018 without losing a single game, and enjoyed its best result in the British University Handball Championships since winning the tournament in 2015–2016, finishing in third place after losing 12–7 to eventual winners Loughborough University.
At the annual Middlesex University Sports Awards on 18 May 2018, Perry was announced as the winner of the 'Captain of the Year' award[1] for her work in developing the club and leading them to a successful season.[2]
Between 2018 and 2020, Perry remained captain of the Women's team, but they played only once in two seasons, as the number of new players was small in comparison to the number of players who left after the 2017–2018 season.[citation needed]
