Deaf athletes

I was having a discussion with friend and we both wondered the numbers of top footballers,rugby players athletes who were born profoundly deaf.

I can see no reason why profoundly deaf people would not be able to become a top footballer athlete etc if they got motivation drive and talent.
Are there any profoundly deaf professional footballers now?
