Domestically she won the Women's FA Cup in the 1979–80 season with St Helens, and reached three other finals as runner-up with the club during the 1980s.[2][1]
Upon retirement from the game she trained as a coach, including a spell in charge of England's Under-21 ladies. In 1989 Deighan founded and managed Newton Ladies FC, the team who would eventually become Liverpool F.C. Women.[3]
She was allotted 21 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England’s inaugural international.[4][5]
