It has been an unusual season for Alfie Devine, having played in League One and the Championship already. However, it seems the Spurs youngster has finally found his feet at Plymouth, with his latest display earning praise.
Alfie Devine is regarded as one of Tottenham Hotspur’s brightest youth prospects, and the decision was taken this season to send him out on loan to gain valuable first-team experience.
A stint with League One side, Port Vale, was a success, with Devine registering three goals and three assists in all competitions for the club (Transfermarkt).
That loan spell was brought to a premature end during the January transfer window, with Devine instead moving up a level, to Championship new boys, Plymouth Argyle.
There, he has joined up with fellow Spurs man, Ashley Phillips, but Devine has had a slightly more difficult transition period with the club.
Plymouth press happy with Alfie Devine
He may have turned a corner now, though, after a strong performance in Plymouth’s 2-2 draw with Coventry City last night drew positive reviews from the local press.
Plymouth Live had this to say on Devine’s display: “After a slightly disappointing start to his loan spell from Tottenham this was much better from the 19-year-old as he showed signs of starting to settle into Ian Foster’s side as one of the two ‘number 10s’ along with Morgan Whittaker.
“Devine got on the ball more and when in possession his use of it was accurate and positive.”
Devine played the full 90 minutes and picked up a rating of 7 out of 10.

It was always going to take Alfie Devine a little bit of time to settle in the Championship as it’s a big step up for him. But, it sounds like Plymouth have found the right role for him now, and he should be able to push on from here on out.
