Nicky Devlin

Nicky Devlin of Aberdeen was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 17 October 1993 (age 32).

Nicky Devlin, a Scottish defender primarily playing right back for Aberdeen, was born on 17th October 1993, marking him currently 32 years of age. He stands at 6ft (1.83m) in height and carries a weight of 12st 6lb (79kg). He represents Aberdeen on the field donned in the number 2 jersey. According to Transfermarkt, Devlin's present market value stands roughly around €450k, equivalent to £382k.

Devlin made his break into professional football in July 2010 when he joined Scotland's League Two team, Dumbarton, where he made an impressive 23 first team appearances in league matches in his debut season 2010-2011. In his final season 2012-2013 with Dumbarton, Devlin again made 16 first team appearances in league matches.

In May 2011, Devlin made a move from Dumbarton to Motherwell, a team in Scotland's Premiership, for an undisclosed fee. His tenure at Motherwell was followed by a series of loans, first to Stenhousemuir in the League One in January 2012, and then a return to Dumbarton in August 2012. During his two terms at Stenhousemuir, encompassing seasons 2011-2014, he made a total of 44 first team appearances in league matches. Precisely similar to his play record at prior club Dumbarton over equally similar seasons.

July 2013 saw Devlin permanently moving from Motherwell to Stenhousemuir, where he maintained his pattern of steady appearances in first team matches until 2014. In July 2014, he transferred to Ayr United, a team in the Championship, where he made a total of 104 first team appearances and scored three goals in league matches over three seasons.

Seeking new pastures in July 2017, Devlin made a jump from Scotland's Championship league to England's League Two by joining Walsall. His stay there was followed by a transfer back to Scotland as he joined Livingston in the Premiership in July 2019. During his tenure at Livingston spanning four seasons from 2019-2023, Devlin made an impressive 122 appearances in first team league matches, scoring six goals in total.

July 2023 marked his transfer to his present club, Aberdeen in the Premiership. So far at Aberdeen, he has made exactly 90 first team appearances, and has netted seven goals in league matches by the current season 2025-2026. Devlin also had the experience of representing Aberdeen in various Cup and League matches, among which is his contribution to the League Cup 2025-2026, the Scottish Cup 2025-2026, and the Europa League Qualifiers 2025-2026, followed by the Conference League 2025-2026 where he scored a goal.
