Career
Deighton began his professional career with Everton but was unable to displace Ted Sagar from the first team. He moved to Cardiff City in 1935 and competed with Jack Leckie and George Poland during the 1935–36 season, making 18 league appearances. However, he was released by the club at the end of the season and moved into non-league football.[1]
