Douglas Phillip Charles 'Doug' Deitz (1914-1990) was an Australian rugby league player from the 1930s.
Doug Deitz started his long and successful career at the North Sydney Bears in 1932 and went on to play 10 seasons with the club between 1932-1937, 1940-1942 and 1945.
He played over 209 grade games with the Bears during his career before retiring at the end of 1942, but due to the severe player shortage in the last year of World War II, he returned for 1945, playing most of the season and kicking 26 goals for the Bears. He finally retired at the conclusion of the 1945 season, and went on to coach lower grades at the Bears for some years. [1]
