Club career



Huddersfield Town


Boyle was born in Garforth, West Yorkshire.[5] He attended Garforth Community College before joining Huddersfield Town's academy at under-15 level from his local club Garforth Villa in October 2010.[6] He was nearly ever-present for the under-18 team in the 2012–13 season.[6] He made his first-team debut for Huddersfield as a late substitute in the 3–0 win against Reading on 24 February 2015.[7]

On 26 March 2015, he joined Conference Premier club Kidderminster Harriers on loan for the rest of the season, and made two appearances for the club.[7][8] On 5 August 2015, he joined Macclesfield Town on loan for two months.[7]

On 18 November 2015, Boyle joined League Two club York City on a youth loan until 3 January 2016.[9] He made his debut on 21 November 2015 when starting York's 3–2 away to Leyton Orient, in which he struggled to cope with the physicality of opponent striker Ollie Palmer.[10][11] He struck up a partnership at centre-back with Dave Winfield,[12] and despite York wanting to extend his loan[13] Boyle returned to Huddersfield in January 2016.[14] Having made only one appearance as a late substitute after returning to Huddersfield,[15] he rejoined York on loan until the end of the 2015–16 season on 26 February 2016.[16]

In June 2016, Boyle and fellow Huddersfield player Flo Bojaj joined Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on a six-month loan deal.[17] He scored on his debut, as Kilmarnock beat Clyde 2–1 in the Scottish League Cup on 16 July 2016. The goal came after he had earlier conceded a penalty, which was saved by Kilmarnock goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald.[18] Boyle returned to Huddersfield in January 2017,[19] having made 14 appearances and scored 1 goal for Kilmarnock.[20]


Cheltenham Town


On 9 January 2017, Boyle signed for League Two club Cheltenham Town on a one-and-a-half-year contract.[21] He made his League Two debut for the club in a 3-0 home victory over Accrington Stanley on 14 January 2017.[22] In April 2018, he signed a new contract keeping him at the club until the summer of 2020.[23]

In May 2020, he signed a new two-year contract extension at Cheltenham.[24] Following an impressive 2020–21 season, Boyle was named in the 2020–21 EFL League Two Team of the Season at the league's annual awards ceremony.[25]


Huddersfield Town return


On 6 June 2022, Boyle signed a two-year contract with his first club Huddersfield Town, returning on a free transfer active from the expiration of his Cheltenham Town contract.[26]


International career


Boyle's father is Scottish, and he attended an under-18s training camp for the Scotland national football team in October 2012.[27]
