He began his football career with local clubs NK Slaven from Gruda and HNK Dubrovnik. He was discovered by Hajduk Split scouts and moved to the club's youth squad. In 1996, he joined the club's senior squad in the Croatian First League. He remained with the club until 2004, returning the following season after an unsuccessful year in France. In 2006, he moved to the French Ligue 2 again, this time with FC Libourne-Saint-Seurin, with whom he received more frequent playing time.[2]
International career
Deranja has not been capped for the Croatia national team. However, he has played extensively for the country's junior sides. He was a member of the Croatian side at the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship squads.
Coaching career
Towards the end of his career, and for several years after, Deranja worked as a youth coach in NA Konavle, among others together with Frane Lojić.[3][4] Also in Slaven Gruda.
In 2019, Deranja traveled to the Emirates and became the youth coach of Al Wahda FC.[5] In August 2021, Deranja moved further around the Middle East, this time to Saudi Arabia, where he became youth coach at Damac FC.[6][7] In early January 2023, he joined Al Nassr FC.[8]
