He grew up in Mosman and as a second rower joined Northern Suburbs Rugby Club after leaving school and played in their premiership side in 1933.

Perrin played for New South Wales from 1931 and 1934, earning 8 caps.[3] He toured New Zealand in 1931 with the Wallabies and played in seven of the ten games played and two tests.

In 1933, he played for Victoria in a match against Australia (who were en route to South Africa) and later that year he played in two matches for Victoria against New South Wales, in Sydney.[1][2][3]

He returned to play for New South Wales in 1934 against Queensland in Brisbane, and for two matches against the visiting All Blacks in Sydney.[4][5]
