Jack Edward Deaman (born 17 May 1993) is an English footballer. Deaman began his career as a youngster with Wrexham, before joining Birmingham City in 2011. He spent time on loan at League Two club Cheltenham Town, without appearing for the first team, and moved on to Conference South club Eastbourne Borough after Birmingham released him at the end of the 2012–13 season. After a trial with Cheltenham in July 2014, he rejoined the club on a one-year contract. A defender who can also play in midfield, he made his senior debut in the 2014–15 League Cup. After Cheltenham's relegation in 2015, he spent the first half of the following season on loan to National League North club AFC Telford United before joining Basingstoke Town. He left at the end of the season to sign for National League North club Gloucester City. After a loan spell at Salford City, he spent the 2017–18 season with Hereford of the Southern League before returning to Gloucester City for 2018–19. Career Deaman was born in the London Borough of Camden. He played as a youngster for Wrexham, helping them reach the Football Association of Wales Youth Cup Final in 2010. After completing a two-year scholarship in 2011, he was offered a contract by the club but chose not to take it up. Instead, he joined Birmingham City on a one-year contract in August 2011. With numerous defenders unavailable through illness, injury or ineligibility, Deaman was placed on standby for the fifth-round FA Cup replay at home to Chelsea in March 2012, but played no part in the match. At the end of the season, he was given a six-month contract extension, and was given a first-team squad number for 2012–13. His contract was extended to the end of the season, but he remained unable to force his way into Birmingham's matchday squad, and was made available for loan to gain experience. Ahead of the March 2013 loan transfer deadline, Deaman joined League Two club Cheltenham Town on a youth loan for the remainder of the season. His services as defensive cover were never called upon, and he returned to Birmingham where he was released in June 2013 when his contract expired. After a trial with Stevenage, an extended trial with Torquay United interrupted by an ankle ligament injury sustained in training, and a rather briefer stay with Cambridge United, Deaman signed for Eastbourne
