Kyle Perry (born 5 March 1986 in Birmingham, West Midlands) is an English professional footballer, who plays for Football League Two side Port Vale.

Club career

Perry started his career as a junior at Walsall, but was released from the Bescot Stadium in 2004. He joined Telford United in the summer, and played there for two years. He joined UniBond Premier League newcomers Hednesford Town in the summer of 2006, but only played one game for the Pitmen - the opening day defeat against Marine before being released. He then moved to Southern League Division One Midlands side Willenhall Town, where he formed a potent partnership with another one-game-only ex-Hednesford striker, Matthew Barnes-Homer. After a prolific season at Noose Lane, he joined Chasetown in the summer of 2007. Another excellent return in front of goal saw him play in Chasetown's 1–0 FA Cup victory over Port Vale in December 2007. In doing this he helped Chasetown become the lowest ever ranked club to reach as far as the third round proper of the FA Cup [cite news | last = | first = | coauthors = | title =Chasetown 1-0 Port Vale | work = | pages = | language = | publisher =BBC Sport | date =2007-12-11 | url =http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7136497.stm | accessdate =2008-02-26 ] .

He signed for Port Vale along with Chasetown team mate Chris Slater on 11 January 2008 for a nominal fee and gave up his day job as a graphic designer.

He is currently the top goalscorer ever at Conference North side Telford United despite only being at the club for 19 months. His tally at the club was 32; 6 more than the current 2nd top scorer Lee Moore.
