Cammy Devlin Leaves Hearts After Missing Contract Deadline

His free-agent status makes him available without a transfer fee to clubs such as Rangers or MLS teams, increasing pressure on Hearts to replace a key midfield figure.

Overview

  • Heart of Midlothian confirmed on Friday that Cammy Devlin will not return after he failed to accept a club deadline for a new deal and therefore leaves on a freedom-of-contract basis.
  • Devlin posted a public farewell thanking staff, teammates and fans after five seasons at Tynecastle in which he made 176 appearances and scored eight goals.
  • Record Sport reports Ibrox sources say Rangers manager Derek McInnes has prioritised pursuing Devlin and is working to complete a deal now that the player is available without a fee.
  • Media coverage also links Major League Soccer interest to Devlin, with Real Salt Lake among clubs reported to be monitoring the free-agent midfielder.
  • Hearts will need to replace a regular starter during a summer of change after new manager Wouter Vrancken held post-World Cup talks and the club says it offered a package reported to be one of its top wages.
