He will be hoping to push once again next season and says Celtic No1 and former England star Hart has been on hand to send him helpful information and videos.
Bevan hopes to reach the heights of Hart one day in his career and says talking to Ange Postecoglou's first choice stopper made his dream seam more reachable while making the Hoops favourite seem more human.

Speaking to the Shropshire Star, he explained: “My mum texted Joe Hart and he replied to her because they know each other.
"He messaged me and we just talked about it all, he gave me some advice and sent me videos of him talking.
“He was really helpful. He gave me advice on what to do and how to handle stuff and it was just weird talking to someone of that level as if you’re mates; he was talking to me as if he actually cared when he didn’t have to talk to me at all, but he did.
"He’s where I want to be and doing what I want to be doing in life, so having a chat with him made that seem more reachable and it made him seem more human."
