Former Dungannon Swifts and Glentoran midfielder Terry Devlin has agreed a new long-term deal with Portsmouth.
The Northern Ireland Under-21 international joined Pompey from the Glens in June 2023 and helped the club secure the League One title.
Devlin, who is comfortable in midfield or at right-back, has signed a deal that keeps him at the club until the summer of 2028.
Blues boss John Mousinho said: “Terry has developed at an incredible rate since arriving from Northern Ireland ahead of last season.
“The fact that he’s come over here to play regularly in a different country at such a young age – and in different positions – is very impressive.
“He’s already exceeded our expectations and is someone who never gives less than 100 per cent every time he steps onto the pitch.

“We’re delighted to tie him down for the long-term, especially so soon after agreeing a new deal with Colby (Bishop).”
Devlin’s two goals for the club so far include a strike at Reading last season that completed a memorable turnaround from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
The 21-year-old came off the bench in the second half of the recent victory over QPR to make his 50th appearance for the club.
Devlin has already played more games in the Championship than he did in the third-tier last term.
He has taken part in Northern Ireland training camps and hopes to feature in Michael O’Neill’s squads in 2025.
