A FORMER Scotland international has been unveiled as Ayr United's latest signing of the summer. 

Defender Mikey Devlin, 30, has put pen to paper on a year-long deal, with the option of a further year.

He moves to Somerset Park after his contract at Livingston expired.

The Motherwell-born defender joins the South Ayrshire side in the midst of a busy Premier Sports Cup campaign, with the Championship season just weeks away. 

Devlin started his senior career at Hamilton, before moving to Aberdeen in 2018 and spending four years in the north-east. 

He has also enjoyed spells at Fleetwood Town and Hibs before joining Livingston in 2023, unable to keep them from relegation to the Championship. 

Devlin has earned three Scotland caps, making his international debut in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Russia in October 2019, which the Scots, in their first campaign with Steve Clarke as manager, lost 4-0 in Moscow.

His second cap was in a 6-0 win against San Marino at Hampden four days later, and his last was as an injury time substitute in the 2-1 win away to Cyprus the following month.

Devlin joins ahead of Ayr's trip to Tannadice on Saturday to face Dundee United in their latest Group B fixture in the Premier Sports Cup.

Ayr's remaining group stage ties are away to Stenhousemuir on Tuesday, July 23 and at home to Buckie Thistle on Saturday, June 27, before the Championship season starts with a trip to Devlin's first club Hamiklton Accies on August 3.
