Early life

Devlin was born in Edinburgh on 10 October 1953.[1] He played youth football for Tynecastle Boys Club.

Career

Devlin initially joined Dundee United as a schoolboy signing. He turned professional in October 1969 and became a regular in the reserve team, going on to make over fifty appearances at that level. He made his first team debut as a substitute against Morton on 9 January 1971, scoring a goal in United's 3–2 defeat. He made his first starting appearance the following week, but was unable to establish himself as a first team regular, going on to score four goals in a total of twelve appearances. He accepted the offer of a free transfer in September 1972.[2]

Devlin signed for Exeter City in November 1973, making one Football League appearance for the club.[1] He later played junior football in Scotland for Broxburn Athletic.
