Scotland International Nicky Devlin has put pen to paper on a new two-and-a-half-year deal at Aberdeen.

The 30-year-old right-back has been a virtual ever-present since arriving at Pittodrie from Livingston in the summer of 2023, amassing 66 appearances for the Dons. He has now made over 500 starts at senior level throughout his career.

His consistent form in Red was rewarded with a recent call-up to the national team, where he is currently in camp with Steve Clarke’s squad preparing for UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Portugal.

Now committed until at least the summer of 2027, Devlin is hoping to kick on again for both club and country.

“I’ve loved my time at Aberdeen and am absolutely delighted to be extending my time here”, said Nicky.

“We are really starting to build something positive at the Club and I’m looking forward to being part of that.”

Dons boss Jimmy Thelin is delighted to see Nicky put pen to paper on his extension.

“Nicky is a dependable member of the squad, always the professional, and a leader in the dressing room” he said.

“He is the type of player we want here, and we’re delighted he will remain with us at Pittodrie for the next few years.

“His performances this season have quite righty earned him a call up to the national squad and we are all so pleased to see him recognised at this level.

“Senior players such as Nicky are so important to helping establish the correct environment at a club, his appetite and desire to success are clear to see and he will remain an integral part of what are building here.”
