Career

Thumb
Perovuo with Djurgården in 2011

Perovuo began his career with Espoon PS in the youth side, before moving to FC Honka. He gradually became an important player in the Honka team. In December 2009, Djurgården announced that Perovuo had signed with the Swedish team.[2]

On 12 August 2011 it was announced that Perovuo had signed for the reigning Finnish champions, HJK, for 2+12 years. He made his debut for HJK on 18 August as he came on as a substitute in a 2–0 home victory over Schalke in the Europa League playoff-round.

In 2015, Perovuo returned to FC Honka after the team was relegated to Kakkonen due to financial problems.

International career

On 11 October 2009, Perovuo was called up by the Finland national team. He made his first appearance for Finland at senior level in a 0–2 friendly loss against South Korea on 18 January 2010. He was in the starting line-up, but was replaced by Paulus Arajuuri in the 84th minute.[3]
