Deroy d'Encarnação Duarte (Dutch: [də.ˈɾɔj] Portuguese: [dẽ.kɐɾ.nɐ.ˈsɐ̃w du.ˈaɾ.tɨ]; born 4 July 1999) is a professional football player who plays as a midfielder for Bulgarian First League club Ludogorets Razgrad.[5] Born in the Netherlands, he represents the Cape Verde national team.

Club career

[edit]

Sparta Rotterdam

[edit]

Duarte played youth football for Sparta Rotterdam. As the Tweede Divisie was reintroduced, he began playing regularly for Jong Sparta Rotterdam who had joined the Dutch football league system.[6][5] In the 2016–17 season, he was on Sparta's first-team bench for a few games without making an appearance.[5]

He made his professional debut for Sparta in the 2017–18 season, replacing Stijn Spierings in the 81st minute of a 3–0 away loss to VVV-Venlo.[7] Sparta was relegated to the Eerste Divisie that season.[8] However, he was part of the team that finished second and returned to the Eredivisie after winning the promotion play-off against TOP Oss and De Graafschap.[9]

In the following 2019–20 season, he was mainly a substitute, with his brother Laros Duarte among the players ahead of him in the pecking order.[5][10] However, he established himself as a regular starter in his fifth and final season at Sparta, during the 2020–21 season.[5] His contract with Sparta expired in June 2021, with Duarte having scored a total of 13 goals in 115 appearances for the club.[5]

Fortuna Sittard

[edit]

On 12 August 2021, Duarte signed a three-year contract with Fortuna Sittard, who acquired him on a free transfer from Sparta.[11] Two days later, he made his debut in the season opener against Twente, which was won 2–1.[12] On 26 February 2022, he scored his first goal for the club against Cambuur.[13]

Ludogorets Razgrad

[edit]

In June 2024, he moved to Bulgaria, joining Ludogorets Razgrad.[14]

International career

[edit]

Born in the Netherlands, Duarte is of Cape Verdean descent. He has represented the Netherlands 9 times at Under-19 level,[15] but later was called up to represent the Cape Verde national team for a set of friendlies in March 2022.[16] He debuted with Cape Verde in a 2–0 friendly win over Guadeloupe.[17]

On 18 May 2026, he was called up by Cape Verde's head coach Bubista for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[18][19]

On 3 July 2026, Duarte scored in the 59th minute of the Round of 32 match against Argentina, the reigning champions of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, equalizing the match at 1–1; it was his first international goal for Cape Verde, although, despite getting another goal afterward from Sidny Lopes Cabral, Cape Verde would lose to Argentina, 3-2, in extra time.[20][21]

Personal life

[edit]

He is the younger brother of the footballer Laros Duarte.[22]
