He rewarded with a contract on 16 June 2010[4] but suffered a setback when he broke his leg in a pre-season friendly.[3]

Dean moved to Ossett Town on loan in March 2011 but was recalled a month later by new Bradford City manager Peter Jackson.[5] Luke Dean was the only player of the 2011 Bradford City out of contract players to be handed a new contract, which would keep him at the club until at least June 2012.

In August 2011, he joined Hinckley United on a month-long loan deal, alongside Darren Stephenson.[6] In May 2012, Dean was released from Bradford .[7] He signed for Harrogate Town of the Conference North in the summer of 2012.

In January 2015, Dean signed a one-month loan deal for Bradford Park Avenue[8] In February 2015, Bradford Park Avenue and Harrogate Town agreed to extend the loan deal until the end of the 2014–15 season.[9]

Dean joined Scarborough on 25 May 2017.[10] He played for the club until May 2019, where he signed with Matlock Town.[11]

In June 2022, Dean joined Guiseley following their relegation from the National League North.[12] In January 2023, he joined Liversedge.[13] Having been unable to prevent Liversedge's relegation, he joined Brighouse Town in June 2023.[14]
