The West Brom midfielder opened his Pools account on Saturday when he scored at Boreham Wood, where he stole possession before applying a cool finish past keeper Ted Curd.
Deeming joined Pools in September and has made 12 appearances to date, 10 in the starting XI.
“He’s getting better and better,” said Wild in an interview with BBC Tees Sport. “My conversation with Cole is that ‘you’ve come from a Championship club, you’ve got to have Championship consistency’.
“He’s got to show it week-in, week-out.
“He struggled at the start but grew into the game.”
On the subject of first goals, young Pools attacker Kian Foreman scored a breathtaking goal on his debut on loan at Stockton Town on Saturday.
The teenager has joined the Anchors on a three-month deal after Pools ended his loan deal at Hebburn Town. Foreman scored the opening goal in Stockton’s 5-0 win at Whitby in the Northern Premier League.
