Newcastle midfielder Cam Devlin is set to join Scottish side Hearts. The Jets will receive a transfer fee while Wellington will also receive some cash.
Just a shame he wasn't there in time to dick over Celtic and Postecoglou last weekend.
All said and done though (even if we didn't get the full fee this time...) We've got a hell of a track record over the past couple of years getting players into Europe. 😎
Give em' hell Cammy, and good luck. 👍
That’s actually a very good point, Devlin left Sydney with only 49 A League minutes to his name and not really getting a sighter at this level. He leaves the Phoenix as an Olympian, one of the best midfielders in Australia and now earned himself a move to a top tier European team. We might not attract the senior Aus players like Brillante or Antonis etc but surely under the radar guys will now seriously rate coming here, Pennington and Laws show that.
Not to mention the likes of Cacace, Singh, Joe Bell (through the academy). Add Devlin to that list now too.
That's a pretty damn good production line, and possibly going out on a limb here, but churning out talent like that might just be the envy of the A-League.
