Justin Devenny

Midfielder Devenny joined Palace in August 2023 from Scottish Championship side Airdrieonians.

Devenny came through the ranks at Kilmarnock before moving to Airdrieonians on a permanent basis in the summer of 2022.

He made 54 appearances for the Diamonds over two seasons, notching five goals and seven assists. During their 2022/23 promotion-winning campaign, Devenny played 41 times, scoring in the penalty shootout of the League One play-off final against Hamilton Academical.

Upon signing, Devenny said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be here at Crystal Palace. It’s a big step up, but I can't wait to get started. The facilities are amazing and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Academy Director Gary Issott added: “Justin was someone we were made aware of last season after he established himself in the promotion-winning team at Airdrieonians.

“He has played first-team football from an early age, and joins our exciting Under-21s squad to provide competition in the midfield area.”

Devenny scored his first goal for the club in a 6-2 win against Middlesbrough U21s in the Premier League Cup.

The midfielder earned a call up to the Northern Ireland U21s side for the first time in October 2023, and made his debut against Serbia U21s.
