Career
Born in Derby, England, Doyle started his football career playing for Noel Baker School, Derby.[citation needed] He made his first appearance for Derby County on 1 November 2003, aged 16, in a league game against Preston North End, which Derby lost 3–0. In February 2006, Doyle was on loan to Notts County and his first game for the club from Nottinghamshire was on 25 February 2006 in a league game against Lincoln City. He returned to Derby in May 2006. After a loan spell with Bradford City, he was transferred to Hull City on 31 January 2007, for £100,000. He made his Hull City debut in a 2–1 defeat to Plymouth Argyle on the final day of the 2006–07 season. His first senior goal came in Hull's 4–1 victory over Watford in the second leg of the Football League Championship play-offs on 14 May 2008,[1] the same day he became a father.
Hull were promoted to the Premier League, but Doyle did not feature in the top division until 26 December, when he came on as a substitute during a 5–1 defeat to Manchester City.[2]
Doyle went on loan to Championship side Barnsley on 18 September 2009. He made his debut the following day, coming on for Jacob Butterfield at a 0–0 draw with Swansea City. In January 2010, Doyle signed permanently for Barnsley on a free transfer after being told he could leave Hull.[3]
On 22 September 2010, Derbyshire Police said Doyle had been arrested on suspicion of possessing cocaine.[4]
