William Luke Dean (born 28 September 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League South club Truro City.
After progressing through the academy, Dean made his first-team debut in November 2017 during Exeter City's EFL Trophy tie against Chelsea U21s, being substituted on for Kane Wilson in the 63rd minute. [2] In April 2018, Dean was offered a professional contract by Exeter for the following season. [3] He spent the entirety of the (curtailed) 2019–20 season on loan at Truro City, joining initially for six months before the deal was extended in January 2020. [4] [5] The White Tigers sat atop the Southern League Premier Division South table when the decision to formally abandon the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic was made in March 2020. [6]
On 12 September 2020, Dean mades his league debut in a 2-2 draw against Salford City at Moor Lane, [7] with his home league debut coming in the following fixture against Port Vale. [8] Later that season, in November, Dean joined Bath City on a one-month loan deal. [9]
Dean was released at the end of the season following the expiration of his contract, [10] with manager Matt Taylor citing the lack of a clear pathway to first team football as the reason behind not offering him a new deal. [11] Following his release, Dean joined Southern League Premier Division South side Truro City ahead of the 2021–22 season, reportedly rejecting offers from clubs higher up the football pyramid. [12]
