Devaney first came to prominence as a hurler with the Borris–Ileigh club, with whom he won a county junior championship medal in 1933.[citation needed]
Devaney made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-three when he was selected for the Tipperary junior team. He had one championship season in this grade. He was added to the Tipperary senior panel during the 1936 championship and spent two seasons with the team. During that time Tipperary won the All-Ireland and Munster titles.[citation needed]
His son, Liam Devaney, was a five-time All-Ireland medal winner with Tipperary between 1958 and 1965.[citation needed]
