Derrington was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, the first son and fourth child of Edwin Derrington, a Dissenting minister, and his wife Susannah, née Buggins.

He was forced to resign his seat after a series of financial problems. He unsuccessfully contested the seat of Gumeracha in 1887. For many years, Derrington was connected with journalism in Victoria and South Australia; he was owner-editor of the Mount Gambier Standard from around 1869 to 1872. He then moved to Moonta, where he founded and ran the Yorke's Peninsula Advertiser and Miners' News for eleven years. He acquired the Port Adelaide News in 1878 and was its owner-editor until 1883. He purchased the Adelaide Punch from J. C. F. Johnson in 1881, but had no success with the venture; he disposed of it in 1884 and it folded shortly after. He resided at Kensington, South Australia.
