Dubliner Doyle began his career back in his native Ireland with Cherry Orchard before being snapped up by Premiership Coventry City for a nominal fee in 1998.

However, he was mainly confined to academy football and a trial spell with Harriers earned him a deal on being released from Highfield Road in January 2001.

Doyle became a regular towards the end of 2000/01, showing glimpses of his creative play-making skills, mainly from wide positions.

However, he rarely stepped out of the reserve team last season and has a lot of ground to make up in the final year of his contract.

League appearances: Harriers (00/01) 15, (01/02) 1.

This season: 1 game, 2 substitute appearances.

Status: Substitute.
