Cameron Devlin – Wellington Phoenix
The young midfielder ‘plays like a 30-year-old’ according to coach Ufuk Talay and has been outstanding since earning his chance in the Phoenix midfield.
Devlin has been his side’s top tackler, passer, interceptor and the man with most duels since his Round 10 start against Melbourne Victory.
