Devenny looking forward to promise of new season

In what proved to be a breakout season for both club and country, Devenny featured 28 times for Palace – and five times for Northern Ireland – last season, with five of his appearances for the Eagles being starts.

“I always try and help everyone around me, whether that's the youngest player on the pitch or the oldest player on the pitch,” Devenny said.

“I feel like everyone in the group is good at that. They want to help each other, and I think that's what probably helps us most as a team: just helping each other on the pitch, communicating, it goes a long way.

“The Manager \[Oliver Glasner\] has made it pretty clear to all the players what he demands. The standards are so high throughout the group, and it's for me to then implement them whenever I get the chance, whenever I'm playing and training.

“I might not be playing every game but that doesn't matter – it's what I'm doing behind the scenes, helping out the team in other ways which kind of might go unnoticed. But yeah, for me, it's all about trying to get in on that pitch as much as possible.”
