From the eligibility thread:
In the star today , they mention that young Conor Delvin on Man utd (GK) is the next to switch from the North
Just setting up a thread for Devlin discussion as it appears he's on the verge of declaring for us and I can't find another dedicated to him.

Belfast-born Conor Devlin is an agile young goalkeeper who has played at youth international level for Northern Ireland.
A regular with Paul McGuinness' Under-18s during the 2008/09 season, the Northern Ireland youth international was also part of the Reserves' squad for the successful mid-season trip to the Torneo Calcio Memorial Claudio Sassi-Sassuolo in Italy.
Conor capped an impressive campaign's work by playing his part in Northern Ireland's successful campaign at the Milk Cup, and U18s boss McGuinness has been impressed with Devlin's time at the club.
“Conor is a good young goalkeeper,” he says. “We took Conor over to the Milk Cup tournament in Northern Ireland in July and he did very well for us.
“He’s an Irish youth international goalkeeper and he has impressed us so far. He reads the game well and he is ready to be part of the team and the back five.”
Devlin continued to play a major role in the U18s' Academy League success of 2009/10, turning in a string of impressive performances littered with stunning saves. With Ben Foster, Tom Heaton and Ron-Robert Zieler leaving the club during the summer of 2010, Conor looks to have a platform to showcase his unquestioned talent.
