Deluca was delisted, and re-drafted twice by Fremantle[2] before he made his AFL debut for Fremantle in round 14 of the 2017 AFL season, when Fremantle lost to Geelong at Simonds Stadium by 2 points.[3] He was again delisted by Fremantle at the conclusion of the 2017 season,[4] after having played in his third WAFL premiership when Peel Thunder defeated Subiaco by 16 points.[5]
Season 2018 saw Deluca return to the WAFL and re-join Subiaco.[6] Once again, the season ended in another WAFL premiership win, his fourth, when Subiaco defeated West Perth in the first Grand Final held at Optus Stadium.[7]
Deluca was selected in the WAFL State Team which played the SANFL as a curtain raiser to the Fremantle v Richmond game at Optus Stadium on 12 May 2019. His 29 possessions and a goal saw him voted WA's best player and was awarded the Simpson Medal.[8]
On 27 May 2019, Deluca was selected with pick one in the mid season AFL draft by Carlton Football Club[9] and later that year was not offered a new contract.[10] After being delisted by the Blues, he remained in Victoria and signed with the Box Hill Hawks (Hawthorn's VFL/reserves team) in the hopes of resurrecting his AFL career a third time.[11]
On 10 October 2021, Deluca requested out of Box Hill to head back to his home state, Western Australia; he returned to his home club (Subiaco) for the 2022 season onwards in the WAFL.
