A tense game saw Boulogne win the match in the 95th minute through a goal by Perrinelle which kept Boulogne up whilst sending Niort down to the Championnat National. Perrinelle scored his first goal in Ligue 1 on 23 December 2009 in a 2–2 draw against Nice.[1] In four years at the club Perrinelle appeared in 99 league matches and scored 6 goals.
In the summer of 2010, he rejoined Clermont Foot on a three-year contract.

During his second stint at the club he captained the team during its run in the 2010–11 Coupe de France and made 73 league appearances scoring 4 goals. He left Clermont at the end of his contract in June 2013.
