He was mostly defensive midfielder. He could also play as a right-back.

Leeds director Kevin Blackwell was sacked after an unsatisfactory start to the season 2006-07. In October of 2006, the Leeds’ new Leeds coach Dennis Wise revealed Derry as the new vice-captain of the club.

In the 2009–10 season, Derry played every minute of every match for Crystal Palace. The season was an eventful one during which Palace were placed into administration, leading to the departure of Neil Warnock to Queens Park Rangers and a fight to avoid relegation to League One.

Derry departed from Selhurst Park at the end of the season to reunite with Warnock at his new club Queens Park Rangers signing a two-year contract, on a free transfer, after his contract at Palace had expired. On 21 March 2012 Derry scored his first league goal for the club, and his only in the Premier League, in the 3–2 win over Liverpool. Derry, alongside his former Crystal Palace teammate Clint Hill, won much respect from QPR fans for his tireless work ethic and leadership on the pitch throughout the Championship title- winning season and the subsequent 2 years in the Premier League.

Derry assisted Crystal Palace in their return to the Premier League in 2004, having played 44 times, and even a spot during the 2004 First Division play- off final. His corner caused Darren Powell scoring a 90th-minute goal that sent the Eagles into extra-time in the semi-finals, which they took by penalty shootout. He was unable to join the squad during the 2004-2005 season, and after a stint on loan with Nottingham Forest, Leeds signed him for an undetermined amount in February of 2005.
