Hibernian and Hearts keen on Carlisle United midfielder

Hibernian and Hearts are both keen on Carlisle United midfielder Jamie Devitt.

The 28-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and could be on his way to the Scottish Premiership, according to journalist Alan Nixon on Twitter.

Devitt has impressed for Carlisle in League Two in this campaign. He has scored 12 goals in all competitions and has also chipped in with eight assists. He joined the Cumbrians in 2016 and is currently in his third season at the club.

The midfielder started his career at Hull City and rose through the youth ranks at the East Yorkshire club. He made his first-team debut for the Tigers in a Championship fixture against Swansea City in August 2010.

Devitt went onto make 18 more appearances for Hull. He spent a lot of time out on loan from the KCOM Stadium with the likes of Darlington, Shrewsbury Town, Grimsby Town, Bradford City, Accrington Stanley and Rotherham where he gained plenty of first-team experience.

He was released by Hull when they were promoted to the Premier League in 2013 so joined Chesterfield on a free transfer. The Dublin-born man played eight times for the Spirerites before finishing the 2013/14 season on loan at Morecambe.

Devitt joined Morecambe on a permanent deal in 2014 and did well for the Shrimpers in his two years there before moving to Carlisle.

He has spent a lot of his career in the lower leagues so a move to Scotland to either Hibs or Hearts would be a new challenge for Devitt.
