Saul Deeney (born 23 March 1983) is an Irish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Basford United, where he is also assistant manager.
[7] Deeney left Notts County in October after not being offered a new contract and joined Burton Albion of the Conference National in November and played 30 league games.
After a short spell at Hucknall Town, he rejoined former club Burton Albion in October 2007 on non-contract terms as back-up to first choice Kevin Poole,[12] before signing a new contract in December that would expire at the end of the 2007–08 season.
When Bywater injured his wrist in training in October 2010, Deeney was unable to take advantage and make a claim for a first team spot as he was granted compassionate leave the day before Derby's next game, against Preston North End, to visit his father in Northern Ireland, who had become seriously ill and later died.
In February 2011, Deeney ruptured a tendon in his shoulder ruling him out for five months and meaning he would complete the 2010–11 campaign without a single first team appearance.
[22] Deeney spent the season as third choice goalkeeper, featuring as an un-used substitute when Frank Fielding was suspended or injured, he also played several times as an overage player for the club's under-21 side.
[30] On 9 March 2022, Deeney joined Northern Premier League Division One Midlands side Ilkeston Town on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.
