Club career

Aston Villa

In his early teens, he was spotted by scouts while playing for Cavan-Monaghan, a regional representative side. There was interest from Manchester United and Chelsea but he ultimately chose Aston Villa where former Ireland captain Roy Keane was the current assistant manager.[3] Doyle-Hayes made his debut for Aston Villa in the League Cup on 22 August 2017, starting the match in midfield in a 4-1 victory over Wigan Athletic.[4]

On 5 September 2017 Doyle-Hayes agreed a new three-year contract with the club.[5]

On 31 January 2019, Doyle-Hayes joined Cambridge United on a 6-month loan.[6] However, he struggled to cement a place in the first team due to injury and international call-ups and only made 6 appearances.[7]

On 1 August 2019, Doyle-Hayes joined EFL League Two side Cheltenham Town on a season-long loan.[8] He impressed Cheltenham fans immediately, and was voted player of the month for August.[9] Doyle-Hayes scored his first ever goal at senior level on 17 September 2019, in a 3-2 victory over Bradford City.[10]

On 25 June 2020, Doyle-Hayes was released by Aston Villa.[11]
