Born in Cape Town, South Africa, De Vries made his debut for Waitakere United in the 2009–10 New Zealand Football Championship and transferred to Auckland City in 2013. He won the New Zealand Football Championship in each of his first six seasons. [3]

On 18 May 2014, in the OFC Champions League Final second leg, De Vries equalised as Auckland came from behind to defeat Amicale of Vanuatu 2–1, 3–2 on aggregate. [4] In December of that year, he helped his team become the first Oceanian side to come third at the FIFA Club World Cup, putting the team in front in an eventual 1–1 draw with Mexico's Cruz Azul before a penalty shootout victory. [5]

On 17 January 2018, De Vries signed a one-year deal to play for FC Gifu in Japan. [6]

On 25 February 2020, De Vries signed for League of Ireland Premier Division side Sligo Rovers. [7]

De Vries scored three goals during his debut season in Ireland helping Sligo Rovers secure a top four finish. In December 2020 he signed a new contract for the 2021 season. [8]

In 2022 De Vries returned to New Zealand Football with Auckland City making his comeback in a 4-0 friendly win over West Coast Rangers scoring two goals in the first half. [9]

International career

New Zealand Football initially approached FIFA in 2011 to establish whether De Vries was eligible to play for New Zealand, which he was not at the time. [10] On 8 March 2015, he was called into the New Zealand national football team to play a friendly against South Korea by coach Anthony Hudson. [11] He made his debut in the match in Seoul on 31 March, being substituted at half time for Tyler Boyd in a 0–1 defeat. [12]
