De Vos began his professional career with the Montreal Impact before joining Darlington in England in 1996. In 1998, de Vos joined Dundee United of the Scottish Premier League and later moved over to the English Premier League with Wigan Athletic and Ipswich Town FC before retiring at the end of the 2007-08 season.
The stalwart defender was also captain of Canada's national team from 1999 to 2004. He scored the winning goal in Canada's 2-0 victory over Colombia in the final of the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the only major international tournament the Canadian team has won.
