Rugby career
Starting out with West of Scotland he joined Glasgow on the Scottish game turning professional in 1996; a year after the 'Open Game' was announced in 1995. 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.
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. He made nine appearances in the Heineken Cup for Glasgow. He played in the Scottish Inter-District Championship; in the squad in 1996–97 and playing in 1997–98.

He played with Glasgow until 2002, although he did drop out of professional rugby for two years to focus on his medical studies.
During this time he played with West of Scotland when not playing for Glasgow.
He joined Edinburgh Rugby in 2002. Initially making appearance as a substitute, he made his first start in December 2002. During his Edinburgh time he continued to play for West of Scotland. Again in 2004 Perrett left professional rugby to study medicine. He joined amateur side Glasgow Hawks in 2004 whilst pursuing medicine. 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."
By 2006, Perrett had returned once again to his first club West of Scotland. Perret finished his playing rugby career with West of Scotland in 2010. He is now the Director of Rugby for West of Scotland.
