Spurs loanee Alfie Devine – I’ll try to be exciting to watch…

New Port Vale loan signing Alfie Devine has said he’ll try and entertain people during his time in Burslem.

The highly rated young midfielder joined the Valiants on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur. He joins Oliver Arblaster, Josh Thomas and Kofi Balmer who have also joined on loan this season.

When the opportunity came, I jumped straight at it…

Interviewed after joining the Valiants he told the Port Vale media team: “Everyone’s made me feel very welcome. It’s been good. When the opportunity came, I jumped straight at it. After we sat down with the manager and he told me what his plans were for bringing me on loan. As soon as I heard that I was here straight away and looking forward to it.”

The youngster also wants to get the fans off their seats adding: “I just try to be exciting to watch. I don’t want people coming… watching me and being bored. I want to excite people and I play with that energy, a real good energy.”

Asked about what he wanted to gain from the loan Devine added: “I just want to improve as a player and as a person. I think coming into a new team and on your first loan it’s ten times different to what you’d expect at a club playing U21s.”
