Club career

Huddersfield Town

Boyle was born in Garforth, West Yorkshire.[2] He attended Garforth Community College before joining Huddersfield Town's academy at under-15 level from his local club Garforth Villa in October 2010.[4] He was nearly ever-present for the under-18 team in the 2012–13 season.[4] He made his first-team debut for Huddersfield as a late substitute in the 3–0 win against Reading on 24 February 2015.[5]

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.[5][6] On 5 August 2015, he joined Macclesfield Town on loan for two months.[5]

On 18 November 2015, Boyle joined League Two club York City on a youth loan until 3 January 2016.[7] 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.[8][9] He struck up a partnership at centre-back with Dave Winfield,[10] and despite York wanting to extend his loan[11] Boyle returned to Huddersfield in January 2016.[12] Having made only one appearance as a late substitute after returning to Huddersfield,[13] he rejoined York on loan until the end of the 2015–16 season on 26 February 2016.[14]

In June 2016, Boyle and fellow Huddersfield player Flo Bojaj joined Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on a six-month loan deal.[15] 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.[16] Boyle returned to Huddersfield in January 2017,[17] having made 14 appearances and scored 1 goal for Kilmarnock.[18]

Cheltenham Town

On 9 January 2017, Boyle signed for League Two club Cheltenham Town on a one-and-a-half-year contract.[19]

International career

Boyle's father is Scottish, and he attended an under-18s training camp for the Scotland national football team in October 2012.[20]
