Rear derailleur compatibility

Hi
I’m not sure I’m in the right place for my question but here goes.
I have a Dawes galaxy classic 2014 but I changed it to more of a hybrid bike,straight bars,v brakes instead of the canterlever ones it came with.
I’ve also replaced the crank for a shimano deore 48-36-26 which is what was the same as originally on the bike and a hg 12-30 10speed rear cassette as per original.
The derailleurs are shimano tiagra 4700 and we’re operated by bar end shifters,now I’ve ditched those and bought a set of sl-m610 rapid fire shifters but the gears won’t set right and on looking on the net there not compatible.
So my question is can anyone recommend derailleurs to suit this set up as I’m a bit confused because most of them say only Dyna-Sys compatible or hg-x chains and my chain is hg
Any advice would be most welcome

Road and MTB rear derailleurs have different pull ratios, meaning you can't (usually) use a road mech with an MTB shifter.
Stick a Deore rear mech on and you should be good to go.
