Damián Alfredo Pérez (born 22 December 1988) is an Argentine footballer who currently plays as a left back for Sporting de Gijón.

Career

Pérez started his professional career playing for Arsenal de Sarandí in a 1–4 defeat to Newell's Old Boys, on 16 March 2008, playing as a left winger.[2] In the 2011 Clausura, he became a regular starter for Arsenal. Playing mainly as a left full back, Pérez totaled 13 games (12 as a starter).[3]

The Argentine defender was also a regular starter for Arsenal in the team's first national league title, the 2012 Clausura, in which he played 17 games (all as a starter), scoring once (in the 14th fixture 4–1 victory over San Martín de San Juan).[4] Pérez also started in the team's victory against Boca Juniors for the 2012 Supercopa Argentina (first edition of the tournament) and was a regular starter in the 2012–13 Copa Argentina winning campaign (including the 3–0 victory against San Lorenzo de Almagro in the final).

After playing 186 games with Arsenal de Sarandí (counting both domestic and international competitions), and despite being wanted by Argentine powerhouses Boca Juniors and River Plate, the full back joined Vélez Sarsfield on a free transfer for the second half of the 2015 Argentine Primera División.[5][6][7]

On 18 July 2019, Pérez signed a two-year contract with Spanish club Sporting de Gijón.[8]
