Devonport was born and raised in
Burnley,
Lancashire and attended
Unity College in the town, representing the Burnley Town team and Lancashire Schoolboys. He scored 21 goals in 67 appearances for the Under-18 and Under-23 squads and even made his debut for the first team in a pre-season friendly against
Bolton Wanderers, aged 15. He had his first taste of senior football in February 2022 when he was sent out on loan to
North West Counties Football League Premier Division side
Padiham, spending the remainder of the season there, scoring three goals in thirteen appearances. In February 2023, he joined
Northern Premier League Division One West side
Clitheroe on a work experience loan for the remainder of the season, but only made one appearance. He was rewarded with his first professional contract with Accrington in July 2023 and promoted to the first team, signing a one-year deal. In September 2023, he was sent back out on loan to Clitheroe on a 28-day loan deal, making a further four appearances in all competitions. He was immediately sent out on loan to
National League North club
King's Lynn Town until the end of the
2023–24 season. Manager Adam Lakeland said that "he's a big, imposing figure on the pitch who is good in the air, holds the ball up, looks to bring others into play and has a competitive nature to his play". He started regularly for the Linnets as their form picked up in the second half of the campaign to guide them away from the relegation zone. He made his first team debut for Fleetwood on 8 October 2024 in the 3–0
EFL Trophy group stage win over
Barrow and subsequently signed a one-year contract extension until 2026 on 19 November 2024, with a one-year option in the club's favour. He finished the season fully integrated into the first team with 24 appearances in League Two. Devonport had moved down the pecking order at Fleetwood following their summer signings of
James Norwood,
Ched Evans and
Will Davies and the loan was seen to provide valuable game time. ==Career statistics==
