Substitute (6)

Ross

'substitute' is the definition.
(both can mean someone who stands in for another)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for deputy that I've seen before include "Member of the French parliament" , "Appointed representative for another" , "One given the power to act for another" , "number two" , "US sheriff's assistant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
