Early and personal life

Career

After playing for Tottenham Hotspur, Della-Verde signed for Southend United in 2007. ^[4] He signed for Fulham in mid-2011, ^[5] turning professional on his 17th birthday in January 2012. ^[3] He signed on loan for Bristol Rovers in November 2014 for an initial one-month period. ^[6] The loan was extended in early December 2014, ^[7] although it was cut short a week later after he suffered an ankle injury. ^[8]

After being released by Fulham, he signed a two-year contract with Fleetwood Town in July 2015. ^[9] He was released by Fleetwood in February 2016, signing a one-month contract with Crawley Town later that month. ^[10] Della-Verde was released by Crawley Town at the end of the 2015–16 season, ^[11] and signed for non-league Welling United in August 2016. ^{[12] [13]} He was released by Welling United on 19 November 2016. ^[14] On 2 December 2016, he signed for Concord Rangers. ^[15] He signed for Dartford in June 2017. ^[16] At the end of the 2017–18 season – after Dartford missed out on promotion back to the National League – Della-Verde left the club. ^[17]

On 29 June 2018, Della-Verde agreed to join newly promoted National League side Braintree Town. ^[18] Della-Verde then joined Kingstonian in March 2019. ^[19] After only two games, he joined Haringey Borough. ^{[20] [21]} Della-Verde lined up for Hayes & Yeading United on the opening day of the 2019–20 season. ^[22] He joined Enfield Town in December 2019. ^[23] Della-Verde re-joined Welling on dual registration when the Isthmian League season was suspended due to the second national lockdown in England. ^[24] On 3 July 2023, he signed for Isthmian League South East Division club Cray Valley Paper Mills. ^[25] He was released by the club in November 2024. ^[26] On 2 December 2024, Della-Verde signed for Brentwood Town. ^[27]

In July 2025, Della-Verde joined Phoenix Sports following their relegation to the Southern Counties East Premier Division. ^[28]
