Club Career

Hull City

Born in Dublin, Devitt progressed through Hull City's youth system and was voted Young Player of the Year and Supporters' Club Player of the Year for the 2007–08 season. In 2009–10 he spent time on loan at three different League Two clubs.

He signed for Darlington on a month's loan on 15 September 2009. He made his debut on 19 September in a 2–0 home defeat to Bournemouth, and scored his first goal for the Quakers in the last game of his loan spell, a 2–1 win against Shrewsbury Town on 17 October.

On 22 October, only days after scoring against the club, he joined Shrewsbury Town on loan. He scored on his debut on 31 October 2009 against Notts County. His form dipped and he was deemed surplus to Shrewsburys promotion battle. He returned to Hull after being recalled in January 2010.

On 17 February 2010 Devitt joined Grimsby Town on an emergency loan. He scored on his debut in a 1–1 draw against Notts County the same day. Against Grimsby's local rivals Lincoln City at Blundell Park the following Saturday, he picked up the Man of the Match award. Devitt's loan at Grimsby was extended until the end of the season on 24 March, after scoring three goals in seven appearances.

The 2009–10 season was finished off for him with an unwanted hat-trick as he capped three relegations in one season. His parent club Hull City dropped out of the Premier League, while both Darlington and Grimsby were also relegated from League Two.

He had a happier start to the 2010–11 season as he made his competitive first-team debut for Hull City by coming on as a substitute in their first match, a 2–0 victory over Swansea on 7 August 2010. Throughout t
