Career
Early career
Deepak got addicted to football when he was in class IV in the Corporation Government School in Jogpalya.
The talented youngster was forced to quit studies when in Class X but it got him more and more into football and the beautiful game showed him the way forward.
"After reading the news about the selection for the state U-16 side he went for the trials and got selected. In 2006 he was called for the national camp and then got selected to the Tata FA in 2007.
"He was the top-scorer when Karnataka finished runners-up in the South Zone and reached the semifinals of the U-16 nationals in 2007.
He emerged as the joint top-scorer for Jharkhand in the junior nationals in Mandya.[1]
After passing out from Tata FA in 2010, Deepak played for Mumbai F.C.. In 2011-12 season was a homecoming of sorts for the talented Murphy Town boy when he signed for the Aircraftmen. However, he had a barren season for HAL as he was hardly seen playing in I-League.
Pailan Arrows
On 13 August 2012 it was officially confirmed that Prakash had signed for Pailan Arrows of the I-League after HAL S.C. were relegated from the I-League.[2]
