Alfie Sean Devine (born 1 August 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for EFL League Two club Port Vale, on loan from Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

An England youth international, he won the UEFA European Under-19 Championship with the under-19 team in 2022. He joined Tottenham Hotspur from the youth system of Wigan Athletic for around £300,000 in July 2020, and made his senior debut for Spurs in January 2021. He joined Port Vale on loan in August 2023.

Early life

Alfie Sean Devine was born on 1 August 2004 in Warrington.[4] He is the son of Claire Devine, a Human Resources professional and former rugby league scrum-half Sean Devine, who played for St Helens from 1986 to 1991, and Oldham from 1992 to 1993.[5][6]

Club career

Early career

Devine was an academy player of Liverpool.[7] He was released at the age of 11 and joined Wigan Athletic four months later.[8] He made his under-23 debut aged 15,[8] and was part of the team that beat Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the 2019–20 FA Youth Cup, coming on as a late substitute.[9] He started in the quarter-final against Manchester United at Old Trafford.[10] He was signed by Wigan on 6 June 2020. However, Wigan went into administration less than a month later, and he was then sold to Tottenham Hotspur on 28 July for around £300,000.[11][12]

Tottenham Hotspur

Devine was sent off during an U23 match against Chelsea in December 2020 after becoming involved in a physical confrontation with Danny Drinkwater.[13] On 10 January 2021, Devine made his senior debut for Tottenham in the third round match of the FA Cup against Marine. He came on as a substitute at the start of the second half and scored a goal, capping a 5–0 win for Tottenham. His debut at 16 years and 163 days made him the youngest player to have played for Tottenham in a senior game, breaking the record previously held by his under-18 teammate Dane Scarlett.[14][15] He turned professional under Nuno Espírito Santo, signing a three-year contract on his 17th birthday.[16] The Athletic reported that Antonio Conte was a big fan of Devine, however the teenager suffered with injuries during the 2021–22 season.[17] He was limited to one FA Cup appearance during the 2022–23 campaign.[18]

On 25 August 2023, Devine joined EFL League One club Port Vale on loan for the 2023–24 season.[19] He made his debut the following day, in a 1–0 win over Carlisle United at Vale Park.[20] He scored his first goal in the English Football League on 2 September, when he converted a stoppage-time penalty kick to secure a 2–1 victory at Oxford United.[21]

International career

Devine represented England at under-16 level, playing at the Sportchain AGS Cup in December 2019; the tournament was won by Spain,[22] but he was named player of the tournament.[23] On 2 September 2021, Devine made his debut for the England U19s during a 2–0 victory over Italy U19s at St. George's Park.[24] On 17 June 2022, Devine was included in the U19 squad for the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[25] He scored in their opening group game against Austria.[26] He started in the final as England won the tournament with a 3–1 extra time victory over Israel on 1 July 2022.[27][28] Devine made his England U20 debut during a 2–0 win over Germany in Manchester on 22 March 2023.[29] On 10 May 2023, he was included in the England squad for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[30][31] He scored in a group stage victory over Uruguay and their only goal in the round of 16 elimination against Italy.[32][33]

Devine was drafted in to train with the senior team in September 2023, as he and Bashir Humphreys replaced injured duo Bukayo Saka and Levi Colwill.[34]

Style of play

Devine is an attacking midfielder with excellent technical skills, such as dribbling and close control. He has good set piece skills and can finish with both feet.[35] Manager José Mourinho said he "[has] an instinct to appear in finishing zones and to score goals".[36]
