After being part of Sydney FC NPL team, Devlin got a call up to play for Sydney FC in the 2018–19 A-League season, making seven appearances off the bench including an AFC Champions League appearance against Kawasaki Frontale. He scored his first professional goal on 1 March 2019 in a 2–0 win over Adelaide.[3]

On 14 December 2019, following an injury to regular midfielder Alex Rufer, Devlin made his starting debut for the Phoenix in a 0–0 draw with Melbourne Victory; he quickly became an integral player for the team, being named A-League Player of the Month for December and retaining his starting spot even when Rufer recovered.[5]

On 28 June 2021, it was announced that Devlin had signed a two-year deal with the Newcastle Jets.[6] However, by August 2021 a transfer fee had been agreed with the Jets for Devlin to join Scottish Premiership club Heart of Midlothian, subject to the player securing a United Kingdom visa,[7] which he did on 24 August.[8]
