Playing career

Donegal's Michael Murphy scores a penalty against Deighan in the 2008 Ulster Championship

Inter-county

Deighan was called up to the Derry Senior panel in 2008. He helped Derry reach the 2008 Dr. McKenna Cup final, where they were defeated by Down.^[2] He was part of the Derry panel that won the that year's National League where Derry beat Kerry in the final.^[3] The league success saw Derry become favourites to win the Ulster Championship^[4] and one of the top few for the All-Ireland. However, despite a good opening victory over Donegal,^[5] Derry exited the Ulster Championship against Fermanagh at the semi-final stage^[6] and were defeated by Monaghan in the first round of the Qualifiers.^[7] The Donegal match saw Deighan make his Championship debut. He missed the Fermanagh game through injury, but returned for the Monaghan match.
