Terry Devlin has been assured he has a part to play for Pompey in the Championship.
And John Mousinho has no intention of letting the talented 20-year-old depart Fratton Park on loan to develop.
The Northern Ireland under-21 international’s promising season was devastated in January after damaging shoulder ligaments in the first half at Oxford United.
Despite being earmarked as a player for the future upon his arrival from Glentoran in June 2023, Devlin had muscled into the first-team squad, making 24 appearances by that stage, including three successive League One starts.
