Dawson Devoy has left MK Dons after the Irish midfielder re-joined his former club Bohemian FC.

The 22-year-old returns to Bohemian two years after leaving the Dublin-based side to join MK Dons, whom he had joined in the summer of 2022.

Devoy has signed a contract of undisclosed length described as a “multi-year” deal with the Bohs, with the Irish club paying an undisclosed fee to facilitate the deal.

The move sees Devoy move after two seasons with the Dons, for whom he made 58 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice.

Most of Devoy’s appearances came in his first season with the club, when he made 44 appearances in all competitions for a Dons side relegated from League One in the 2022/23 season.

Devoy’s last appearance for the Dons came in a match against Crawley in December 2023, with the midfielder finding his opportunities reduced under both Graham Alexander and Mike Williamson last season.

The Irishman would spend the second half of last season on loan with the Dons’ fellow League Two outfit Swindon Town, making 16 appearances for the Wiltshire-based club and scoring three goals, two of which coming in a win over AFC Wimbledon.

Devoy told the club’s official website of his delight to return to Ballymount and hoped to help the club push up the league after a slow start to the season.

He said, “I’m absolutely buzzing to be back, and can’t wait to get back playing for Bohs again. This is where I played some of my best football, and I want to do even better again.

“I’m not coming home for an easy life – I loved my time at Bohs before and I want to be a part of getting the club back to where we belong.

“I had really good conversations with the manager, who obviously I knew well from the Ireland U21s, and with Stephen O’Donnell and Derek Pender. The plans that they have for the club and how they want to play really excited me.

“The club isn’t where it should be at the moment, so all of us coming in are determined to help the team push on.

“There’s a new manager in and now there’s new players in too, so we all have a role to play in getting the club back kicking and in getting Dalymount back rocking.”
