Hide AdDevitt has now moved into the senior set-up, forming part of Mark Hughes’ senior team at Brunton Park.
He will hold the position of first-team coach until the end of the season, with Carlisle embroiled in a battle for League Two survival.
A product of Hull’s academy, Devitt made 19 appearances at first-team level for the Terriers. As opportunities proved limited, he was loaned out on seven separate occasions.
Rotherham and Bradford were among those to borrow his services and the latter re-signed him in 2019, loaning the playmaker in from Blackpool.
He ended his playing career in the non-league pyramid, having a brief stint at Workington.
