[3] He made his first start for Munster on 19 March 2010 in a league fixture against Scarlets, playing fullback and winning the Man-of-the-Match award.

[5] He played for Munster A during their 2009–10 British and Irish Cup campaign. His performances for club and province earned a full-time contract with Munster, and Deasy joined the senior Munster squad for the 2010–11 season.
Deasy started at fly-half for Munster A in their 31–12 2011–12 British and Irish Cup Final win against Cross Keys.

Deasy kicked 9 points in the 36–8 win, helping to secure a place in the play-offs for Munster. [7] [8] During the 2011–12 season, Deasy established himself as Munster's third-choice fly-half.
Deasy cites his coaches at PBC as the biggest influence on his career. [9]
It was announced on 14 May 2013 that Deasy would be leaving Munster, to an as yet unannounced club. [10]
Upon leaving Munster, Deasy did not seek another professional contract, and instead signed for amateur club Lansdowne Football Club, with whom he won the All-Ireland League in 2015. Deasy is now Lansdowne's all-time top scorer in the All Ireland League having amassed more than 600 points in the league for Lansdowne
