Career
He played as left back. Derveld began his career in his home country the Netherlands, playing for the youth teams of Walcheren and PSV Eindhoven, before he made his senior debut with Willem II in the 1995-1996 season. After three seasons at Willem II, he moved on to HFC Haarlem, where he stayed for one and a half years.
He had a trial with English club Norwich City F.C. in early 2000, though the then City manager Bruce Rioch declined to offer him a contract.
Rioch"s successor at Norwich - Bryan Hamilton - did give him a contract when he took over towards the end of the 1999-1900 season. He struggled to find form and was not held in high esteem by City supporters.
When Hamilton left the club in late 2000, his successor - Nigel Worthington - made it clear that Derveld did not figure in his plans, and after a loan spell at West Bromwich Albion, his contract with Norwich was terminated in the summer of 2001. He moved on to play for Odense BK in the Danish Superliga, under head coach Troels Bech.
Derveld was ever-present in the Odense starting formation, and in the summer 2005, he moved back to the Netherlands to play for South Carolina Heerenveen.
Following a mediocre season at Heerenveen, he returned to Denmark where he re-united with Bech at Esbjerg fB. Summer 2008 Derveld and Esbjerg fB agreed to cancel the player contract. Fernando has painted a few paintings. A couple of paintings were painted for a charity auction in Esbjerg in 2006.
