Brett Deacon is a retired rugby union player who notably played for Leicester Tigers in the Premiership. He played as a blindside flanker or No. 8. He is the younger brother of Leicester and England international Louis Deacon. He left Leicester Tigers at the end of the 2009?10 season after seven seasons, to play for Gloucester. In 2012, after being released from Gloucester Rugby he re-joined Leicester Tigers. On 19 December 2013, Deacon was forced to retire due to a diagnosis of lupus, an autoimmune disease which in his case led to potentially life-threatening blood clots; he was immediately placed on blood thinners. However, he remained with Leicester Tigers to take a coaching role with their academy.
