Ciprian Ioan Deac (Romanian pronunciation: [t͡ʃipriˈan iˈo̯an 'de̯ak]; born 16 February 1986) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a winger or an attacking midfielder for CFR Cluj.
Deac played as a youngster for Gloria Bistrița, where he was initially deployed as a striker.
Deac made his senior debut with Unirea Dej, a lower 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. He managed to impress, however after spending near two months with "U" Cluj the transfer failed due money problems.
He was finally bought by CFR at the end, they were impressed by his skills. Deac signed with them during the 2005–06 season, and made his Liga I debut on 6 August 2006 against Unirea Urziceni in a 4–0 victory. During the 2006–07 season led by coach Cristiano Bergodi, Deac only made eleven appearances for them finishing third place in the Championship. The highlight of his career began in 2007–08 the team's new coach, was Ioan Andone, formerly of Dinamo Bucureşti who won both the Championship and the Cup. Deac has been loaned out during the half-season and went to play for Oţelul Galaţi. Because of his good performances he was preserved in the roster for the 2008–09 season. In the first part of the championship Deac made nine appearances, being more over on the bench, which led him to think about a separation from the club. But with the upcoming new coach Dušan Uhrin, Jr., Deac gave up this plan, receiving assurances that it will be used more. In the 2009–10 season, the team managed to win the league title for the second time in its history, the coach being Andrea Mandorlini said "Deac has grown into an incredible manner, quantitatively and qualitatively". Proof of outstanding quality as player is the most difficult moment of the team and maintain his composure and helping his team to score. So it was in the 2010 Super Cup match, which marked the extension of Deac, saving the team from a shameful defeat, pushing the game into the penalty shootout. After this memorable match, Deac was elected Man of the match.
