In a journeyman career he totalled 65 games and 3 goals in Segunda División with five clubs, and 113/9 in Segunda División B in service of seven teams. He also spent two years in Scotland, representing Hearts and Livingston in the SPL.
Early career
Born in Mérida, Extremadura, Pereira went from hometown club CP Mérida to Atlético Madrid as a youth, and made his professional debut on 21 September 1997 in a 1–1 draw at Real Jaén CF, replacing Luis García Tevenet for the final four minutes. Used rarely, as he was the following season in the same division at Mérida, he dropped down a league to play for Écija Balompié and SD Ponferradina over the next couple of campaigns.
In 2000, Pereira signed for second-tier Getafe CF and scored his first professional goal on 19 November, coming on and converting a penalty in a 4–1 win at Elche CF. He concluded the season at Xerez CD whom he helped to promotion to that level, and represented the Andalusians there for one-and-a-half years before a brief return to Ponferradina and signing for third-division CD Logroñés at the start of the 2003–04 season.
Scotland
Amidst the Riojans' financial crisis that would see them eventually relegated for administrative reasons, Pereira moved abroad on 10 January 2004, signing for Raith Rovers of the Scottish Football League First Division. After scoring regularly in Kirkcaldy, he joined Heart of Midlothian in the Scottish Premier League on a one-year deal; manager Craig Levein likened him to Nacho Novo, another attacker who went from the lower Spanish leagues to the SPL via Raith.
Pereira's opportunities were limited at the Tynecastle Stadium and in the summer of 2005 he transferred to fellow league team Livingston. On 21 September he finished Derek Adams' cross to score the only goal of a home win over a previously unbeaten Hearts in the third round of the Scottish League Cup. He left Livi on 30 November to return to his homeland.
Later career
Pereira signed for a third time at Ponferradina, helping them to the second level and an immediate return. He played out the rest of his career in Segunda B or lower.
