Luis Ernesto Pérez Gómez (born January 12, 1981) is a Mexican international footballer, who currently plays as a midfielder for CF Monterrey, in the Primera División de México.

[edit] Career

Pérez debuted in the Mexican Soccer League with Necaxa in the 1999 Invierno season, playing his first game September 21 in a 3-1 victory over Santos Laguna. Pérez finished the season having played in 11 games, and by the beginning of the next year had a firm grip of the starting position. Pérez played the next four years with Necaxa, until, to the surprise of many, was sold to Monterrey for the Clausura 2003, where he won his first championship. As with Necaxa, Pérez has been a mainstay in the Monterrey lineup.

Perez made his debut with the Mexican national team November 17, 1998 in a friendly against El Salvador. Uncapped through the next two years, he reemerged in 2000, and made appearances for the team in the Gold Cup in 2003, and playing for the U-23 team in the 2004 Summer Olympics.

In 2009, he wore the captain armband as he and his team won the Apertura 2009 tournament.
