Hearts sign Australia Olympic international Cammy Devlin
Devlin joins from Newcastle Jets on a three-year deal
Hearts have completed the signing of Australia Olympic international Cammy Devlin.
The 23-year-old midfielder joins for an undisclosed fee from Newcastle Jets and has penned a three-year deal
Devlin only joined the Jets this summer but Robbie Neilson's side activated a release clause in his contract.
Speaking to the official club website, manager Robbie Neilson said: "This one has been a long time in the making but I’m delighted that Cammy is now a Hearts player.
“He was as keen to get over here and joins us as we were to sign him, so already there is a great relationship there.
“He’s a real livewire on the pitch, dynamic with a great engine and he’ll give 100% every time he pulls on the maroon jersey.”
Sporting director Joe Savage said: “It’s been known for a while that we were trying to get Cammy in but now that day is here, it’s no less exciting.
“He is going to give us something different on the pitch and I think the fans are really going to take to him…when he arrived at Edinburgh Airport the first thing he said was ‘I’m home’ and that says it all about his attitude.
“A big thanks goes to Tony, Cammy’s agent, who has been instrumental in this deal and to all of the staff at the club who have worked non-stop to ensure that this has been a really successful transfer window.”
