Hearts star Cammy Devlin aims for Australia World Cup spot and hopes European football can help bid

Cammy Devlin hopes he can land a spot in Australia's World Cup squad by impressing for Hearts between now and the finals in Qatar.

The Aussies secured their spot at the global football event after defeating Peru on penalties in the play-off final with Kye Rowles and Nathaniel Atkinson playing starring roles. The uncapped Jambos man watched on as Graham Arnold's men sent the country wild by securing their spot - and he is determined to be part of the party later this year.

His two Hearts team-mates have been given extra time off after their international exploits while Devlin is currently in Spain with the rest of Robbie Neilson's squad as they get put through their paces in a warm-weather pre-season training camp. The 24-year-old hopes he can impress and give himself a chance of making the squad that jets off for the finals this coming November and he has pointed to Hearts' European adventure as an extra cause to help his bid to fulfil his childhood dream.
