The Republic of Ireland U19 international has made a big impact for Athlone Town, earning several nominations for the Player of the Week and Team of the Week awards and, despite her tender years, has become a mainstay of the squad.
Devaney also combined her soccer commitments with a very successful year with Glencar Manorhamilton and Leitrim Ladies gaelic football teams, winning a Connacht Intermediate club title in June before retaining the Leitrim Senior Club crown and reaching the Connacht Senior Club Final in November.
The Manorhamilton youngster also became a key member of Hugh Donnelly’s Leitrim side who reached the Lidl NFL Division 4 Final in June and the quarter-finals of the TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate Championship.
