Benjamin Marshall Perry (born 1 December 2004) is an English professional
midfielder.[2]
Career
A product of the
Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy during the 2023–2024 and 2024–25 seasons.[3][4][5] On 3 February 2025, he moved on loan to League One club Northampton Town for the rest of the season.[6] He made his senior debut for Northampton on 7 February 2025, coming off the bench in the second half in a 1-0 win against Mansfield Town in EFL League One.[7][8]
Style of play
After signing him on loan in February 2025, Northampton manager Kevin Nolan praised his versatility in central midfield saying he has the ability to "sit” as well to "go box-to-box" and that he can also play a little further forward “because of his brain and his quality and his work-rate and enthusiasm and tenacity, he can bring something to that role a bit higher”.[9]
