Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
DeFreitas made his first class debut for Leicestershire in 1985 and rapidly grew, forcing the selectors to pick him for the successful Ashes tour in 1986/87. He remained a consistent seamer for England for the next decade. With the ball, he was known for his ability to swing the ball both ways and was particularly successful in home conditions. With the bat, he was a hard hitter of the ball who could run away with the game on his day. His best performances as a bowler came in the West Indies series in 1991 (22 wickets) and New Zealand series in 1994 (21 wickets). His best score with the bat - an aggressive, match winning 88 - helped England beat Australia at Adelaide.
In the ODI format, DeFreitas was an economical bowler but could not manage much in the wickets column. His predictable bowling, especially away from home, made it easy for the batsmen to score off and he particularly struggled towards the end of his career. The arrival of Dominic Cork on the scene in the mid 90s shut the door for DeFreitas, and he played his last international game in 1997. His county career was much longer and much more successful; DeFreitas started for Leicestershire and then moved to Lancashire and Derbyshire before returning to Leicestershire (where he was captain in 2003-2004).

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
With a side-on squint-cum-grimace, DeFreitas flings himself at the crease and throws both arms skywards at the same time. No matter that his action wouldn't win any beauty contests: at his peak, around 1991, he was one of England's most consistent seamers, combining away movement, inswing and legcutters. He would later add offbreaks to his repertoire. His early promise earned him a Test debut in Australia at the age of 20, but his lack of firepower on overseas pitches meant he rarely extended his run of appearances beyond an English summer, and when Dominic Cork arrived on the scene in 1995, DeFreitas's Test career was over. As a batsman he took an age to mature - failing to score a Test fifty until his 23rd appearance - but he can be destructive and turned games at The Oval in 1994 and Adelaide the following winter with some fluent hitting over the top. A tendency to self-destruct, however, meant he never became the post-Botham allrounder England craved. In the field, his strong arm makes him a natural cover sweeper. His long and prolific county career began at Leicestershire, blossomed at Lancashire, where he helped win several one-day trophies, before taking him to Derbyshire and finally back to Leicestershire. His career finished in 2005, where it had all started in 1985 - at Grace Road - after he appeared for the PCA Masters in the first International 20:20 Championships.
