Perry Signs Professionally With Supercoppa Champion Juventus
January 14, 2026 | Soccer
STARKVILLE – Ally Perry, Mississippi State's All-American and the 2025 SEC Midfielder of the year, signed with Juventus FC on Wednesday in Turin, Italy. Perry is the 15th Bulldog player to sign with a professional team in program history and will become the 11th professional player currently active.
Juventus plays in Italy's top-division Serie A, and the club has won six league titles since the women's team was established in 2017. Most recently, the team claimed its fifth Supercoppa Italiana, defeating AS Roma, 2-1, on Jan. 11.
Perry earned State's second First Team All-American honor from United Soccer Coaches this fall. She was also named First Team All-Region and was a Hermann Trophy semifinalist. For the second consecutive year, she was tabbed First Team All-SEC.
The Frisco, Texas, native wrapped up her time in the Maroon and White by tying the program record for both career (11) and single-season (5) game-winning goals. In fact, she's scored the game-winner in four of State's six top-10 wins in program history.
Along the way, she posted a single-season career-high eight assists to finish second all-time at MSU with 18 for her career, including eight game-winning assists. Perry ranks third in MSU career history in points (60) and fifth in goals (21).
"The main reason I signed for Juventus was to test myself in this new environment. I see a lot of growth in this opportunity for me," Perry said in the club's release. "I'm extremely uncomfortable, but that's how I know that I will grow. This is a really big challenge and next step for me that I'm excited to try and navigate."
In 2025, the Frisco, Texas, native started conference play by scoring in five straight matches, marking the third five-game scoring streak in program history and the longest by a Bulldog in SEC play. Her game of the year came in the upset of then-No. 1 Tennessee, when she recorded a career-high five points with two goals, including the game-winner, and an assist. She was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week for that performance.
"Obviously my goal is to win, but for now, I just want to get to know everyone on the team," Perry said. "I think it's great that there's a lot of different cultures on the team, and I am sure I will learn a lot from my other teammates."
Perry joins former nine of her former teammates on professional rosters around the globe. Seven of those are also playing overseas, and she is the 11th player from State to sign internationally. A Bulldog has signed professionally in each of the last four seasons.
