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]
