Early life

[edit]

Perrett was born in Lanark, Scotland. He represented Glasgow Schools in 1992 and 1993 while still with Bearsden Academy.[2][3]

Rugby career

[edit]

Starting out with West of Scotland[4] he joined Glasgow on the Scottish game turning professional in 1996;[5] a year after the 'Open Game' was announced in 1995.[6] Whilst at university and playing for West of Scotland he shared a flat with Gordon Bulloch and David McLeish. All three players went on to represent Glasgow.[7]

After a two-year break from representative rugby to concentrate on his medical studies, in April 2001 he returned to play for Glasgow Caley Reds.[8] He made nine appearances in the Heineken Cup for Glasgow.[9][10] He played in the Scottish Inter-District Championship; in the squad in 1996–97[11] and playing in 1997–98.[12] He played for Glasgow against the touring South Africa national rugby union team.[13]

He played with Glasgow until 2002, although he did drop out of professional rugby for two years to focus on his medical studies.[8]

During this time he played with West of Scotland[14] when not playing for Glasgow.

He joined Edinburgh Rugby[15][16] in 2002. Initially making appearance as a substitute, he made his first start in December 2002.[17] During his Edinburgh time he continued to play for West of Scotland.[18] In July 2004 Perrett was released by Edinburgh, having decided to pursue his medical, and joined amateur side Glasgow Hawks.[19] Hawks spokesman Hugh Barrow said: "Guy will be a huge asset to us in our title defence. He has made it clear that his medical activities are his priority and we are happy to accommodate that."[20]

By 2006, Perrett had returned once again to his first club West of Scotland.[21][22][23] Perret finished his playing rugby career with West of Scotland in 2010.[24][25] In 2015 he was the Director of Rugby for West of Scotland.[26]
