He made his first team debut for Vitória Setúbal in 2021 and transferred to União Santarém in 2022. He then joined Cosmos Koblenz in the sixth tier of Germany in 2024.

International career

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Duverguer is of Haitian descent. He was called up for an evaluation for the Canada men's national under-17 soccer team in October 2016.[1] He was called up to the Haiti national under-20 football team for the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship at the age of sixteen, appearing for all three of the teams' appearances in the tournament.[2][3][4] He was also called up to the Haiti national under-17 football team for the 2017 CONCACAF U-17 Championship, but didn't make any appearances for the team in the tournament.[5]

Duverguer made his debut for the senior Haiti national team in a 1–0 friendly win over the United Arab Emirates on 10 November 2017, at the age of seventeen.[6]

On 15 June 2021 in a match against Canada, during CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, he mis-controlled a back pass and made two mis-kick attempts at a clearance as the ball rolled into the net for an own goal.[7] The clip of the own goal went viral with some calling it one of the worst own goals ever seen.[8]

On 15 May 2026, he was included in Haiti head coach Sébastien Migné's 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[9]
