Derick Fernando da Silva (born 16 May 2002), simply known as Derick (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈdɛɾik]), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a central defender for Portuguese club Lusitânia.

## Club career

[edit]

Born in Santos, São Paulo, Derick joined Santos' youth setup in March 2015, from Sumaré.[1] On 4 October 2018, he signed his first professional contract after agreeing to a three-year deal.[2]

On 8 September 2020, as starters Lucas Veríssimo and Luan Peres were suspended and immediate backup Luiz Felipe was injured, Derick was called up to the first team for a Série A match against Atlético Mineiro.[3] He made his professional debut the following day, coming on as a second-half substitute for Madson in the 3–1 success at the Vila Belmiro.[4]

On 27 April 2021, Derick renewed his contract with Santos until March 2026.[5] However, he spent that season and the following two years appearing almost exclusively with the under-20 squad.

On 10 April 2023, Derick was loaned to Série C side Pouso Alegre until the end of the year.[6] Upon returning, he was separated from the first team squad before rescinding his link with Santos on 9 September 2024.[7]

On 29 September 2024, Derick moved abroad for the first time in his career and joined Portuguese side Lusitânia.[8]

## International career

[edit]

Derick was called up to Brazil under-15s for the 2017 Nike Friendlies,[9] playing in all three matches of the competition. During the 2018 season, he represented the under-17 squad in the Montaigu Tournament[10] and in the Nike Friendlies.[11]
