Playing career

Deane began his first grade career in 1909 against Western Suburbs in a 5-5 draw. In 1913, Deane was selected to represent New South Wales when they toured New Zealand. Deane made 5 appearances on tour and scored two tries.

Deane was one of the club's longest serving players in the early years but his time at the club was not a successful one with the club failing to make the finals and finished last on the table twice.

Deane was the brother of Lal Deane who later became a referee and Sid Deane who represented Australia, New South Wales and was named in the North Sydney Bears team of the century.[2]
