Early career / Unirea Dej

Deac played as a youngster for Gloria Bistrița, where he was initially deployed as a striker. He made his senior debut with Unirea Dej, at the time a second division team. He spent there two seasons and was already scouted by CFR Cluj, however the club who insisted more was Universitatea Cluj who took him for a trial in the camp from Hungary.

Deac was loaned out to Oțelul Galați during the 2008 half-season where he made fifteen appearances scoring two goals. Because of his good performances at Oțelul, Deac was preserved in the CFR Cluj roster for the 2008–09 season. In the first part of the season he made nine appearances. The lack of playing time lead him to consider leaving the club. But with the upcoming new coach Dušan Uhrin, Jr., Deac gave up this plan, receiving assurances that he would be used more. In the 2009–10 season, the team managed to win the league title…

Deac made his debut for the Romania under-21 team on 1 June 2007, in a 1–1 draw against France.
