Early life

Born in Ashbourne, County Meath in 2001, Devoy played for Home Farm and St Kevin's Boys at youth level.[3][4]

Club career

[edit]

Bohemians

[edit]

Devoy signed youth terms with the U17 side of League of Ireland Premier Division club Bohemians in March 2018,[3] before signing professional terms in 2019.[5] Devoy made his first team debut on 27 May 2019 as a 68th-minute substitute in a 2–0 League of Ireland Cup quarter-final win over Cork City.[6] He made his league debut on 15 July 2019 as a 79th-minute substitute in a 3–0 defeat away to UCD.[7]

Following limited opportunities the previous season, in 2021 Devoy featured regularly in both the league and UEFA Europa Conference League.[8] He scored his first goal for the club on 21 May 2021 in a 2–1 defeat away to St Patrick's Athletic.[9] After an impressive season which included an international call-up to the Republic of Ireland U21s, Devoy was named the PFAI Young Player of the Year[10] and featured in the PFAI Team of the Year for 2021.[11]

After re-signing with Bohemians in December 2021,[12] he continued to perform into the 2022 season, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists in 22 league games amid increased interest from other clubs.[8]

Milton Keynes Dons

[edit]

On 13 July 2022, Devoy joined EFL League One club Milton Keynes Dons on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[3] On 5 November 2022, Devoy scored his first goal for the club, in a 6–0 win over Taunton Town in the FA Cup.[13] He scored 1 goal in 44 appearances in all competitions over the season as his side were relegated to EFL League Two.[14]

Swindon Town loan

[edit]

On 5 January 2024, Devoy joined fellow League Two club Swindon Town on loan until the end of the season.[15]

Return to Bohemians

[edit]

On 16 July 2024, Devoy returned to his first senior club Bohemians on a multi-year contract.[16] He scored 5 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions during the 2025 season, helping Bohemians to a 4th place finish, their highest in 5 seasons.[8]

International career

[edit]

Devoy made his international debut for the Republic of Ireland U21 team during the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 qualifiers against Luxembourg.[17] Devoy was named in Heimir Hallgrímsson's Republic of Ireland senior squad to take on Canada in Montreal in June 2026.[18] On 5 June 2026, Devoy made his debut in a 1–1 draw with Canada at the Saputo Stadium.[19][20] His appearance made him the first Bohemians player to be capped for the national team since Glen Crowe in 2003.[21][22]
