Biographical Text

Alan Devlin played a cup tie and a league match for Exeter City in 1973/74. Having played in Hong Kong after being with Dundee United, he was to return to Scotland with Broxburn Athletic. 

Despite scoring on his debut for Dundee United against Morton in January 1970, he only had a handful of first-team outings for the Tannadice club before playing in Hong Kong. Declining an offer from Motherwell, he linked up with Exeter City in July 1973 after impressing on trial.

Alan made his debut for the Grecians in an FA Cup first round tie at St James’ Park against Alvechurch in November 1973 with his only league appearance coming in March 1974 against Peterborough United.

He was released at the end of the season and returned to Scotland to play for Broxburn Athletic.
