Cammy Devlin says his move to Hearts has “completely changed” him after making his Australia debut last weekend.
The Aussie made the move from Newcastle Jets despite not playing a game for the A-League side before heading to Gorgie last September. Devlin ’s impressive stats caught the eye of the jambos’ recruitment department in their hunt for midfield reinforcements. He has since established himself as a key member of Robbie Neilson ’s midfield and is a firm favourite amongst fans, as much for his attitude and personality as his displays in maroon.
Neilson previously confirmed that Devlin had been close to joining Tynecastle teammate Nathaniel Atkinson in Graham Arnold’s squad, but was denied by injury. He finally got the call for two warm-up friendlies against New Zealand this month and came on as a second half sub during Sunday’s 2-0 victory in Auckland. Devlin is now very much in contention to make the squad that will head to the World Cup in Qatar this November.
