Scout report
A. Devine is a 22-year-old central midfielder at Preston, rated 59.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 13th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship and 44th of 1759 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (44.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.94 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Devine.
Judged on this season alone, Devine graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 53 of the 53 central midfielders in the Championship, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.941 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 20). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, top 10% of the 53 central midfielders in the Championship. At 22 Devine is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2025/26 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Preston finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 59.3, Devine carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 53 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
