Derik Osede Prieto (born 21 February 1993), known simply as Derik, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Segunda Federación club Barbastro.
Club career
Real Madrid
Born in Madrid to a Nigerian father and a Spanish mother, Derik started playing organised football at the age of eight, joining local club DAV Santa Ana's youth ranks. He finished his development at Real Madrid, going on to make his debut as a senior with the C team and helping them return to Segunda División B in 2012.
Derik was called to Real Madrid Castilla for the 2012 preseason, but still appeared in some more matches for the C's. His first competitive appearance for the reserves took place on 20 October 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away loss to Córdoba CF in the Segunda División.
On 1 February 2014, Derik scored his first professional goal to open a 4–0 win against Hércules CF at the Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium. The season ended with relegation, with 18 games (17 starts) from the player.
Bolton Wanderers
On 6 July 2015, after a further two full seasons with Madrid B, free agent Derik signed a three-year contract for Bolton Wanderers after a successful trial. He made his debut in the Football League Championship on 12 September, playing the whole of a 2–1 home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Derik finished his first year with exactly half of the league matches played, as the team were relegated after ranking last.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Derik Osede” as spanish footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as spanish footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1151250. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2012, 2014 and 2015.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
