Derek started off his playing days at
Northwood, breaking into the first-team at just
17, making his debut in a 2-0 home win against
Brimsdown Rovers in August 1984. He was almost
ever-present before making the move to Hayes in
October 1985.
By then he had made 47 appearances
and scored 8 goals.
From there he went on to enjoy a professional
career with Barnet, Southend United, Watford and
Peterborough United, totalling just over 250
League and cup appearances and scoring twelve
goals.
He dropped back into non-League with spells
at Stevenage Borough, Dagenham & Redbridge, Hemel
Hempstead and Flackwell Heath.
