Career

[edit]

Devenish-Meares was born on Sydney's Upper North Shore and moved to the United States to begin his career with the South Florida Bulls in the US College system, before signing a short-term contract with GPS Portland Phoenix in the USL League Two, where he was recognized for his strong contributions.[1]

After travelling to Romania, a move to FC Rapid București was scuttled following the discovery the club had a FIFA sanctioned transfer ban.[1] Following two short stints with lower league clubs in Romania, Devenish-Meares returned to Australia, signing with Rockdale Ilinden FC in the National Premier Leagues NSW competition.[2] Following strong performances for Rockdale, he signed a 2-year contract with A-League Men club Sydney FC.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Whilst in the United States representing South Florida Bulls, he completed a Bachelor of Biological Science at the University of South Florida.[4]
