David Philip Perkins (born June 21, 1982 in Heysham, England) is an English footballer, who currently plays for Chesterfield on loan from Colchester United.

[edit] Career

Perkins started his career with Morecambe, for whom he played 170 league games. In 2007, he moved to League Two side Rochdale. On May 17, 2008 he scored a deflected goal from 30 yards which put Rochdale level on aggregate with Darlington in a semi-final play-off, during which he was later shown a red card. Rochdale went through on penalties.^[1] Rochdale appealed to his red card which was rejected by the FA, meaning he missed the League Two play-off final against Stockport County at Wembley Stadium and also the first four games of the 2008–09 season.^[2]

Perkins signed for Colchester United on July 8, 2008 for an undisclosed six-figure fee, citing the potential of another promotion push as the leading reason for his move to the U's.^[3] On 2 October 2009 Perkins signed on loan for Chesterfield.
