Career
[edit]Boyle broke into the Derry side during the 2014 season and went on to make 10 appearances that season.[2]
Derry City loaned Boyle to Finn Harps in early 2015,[1] where he made his debut as a substitute late in the second half in a 1–0 win over Cabinteely.[3] The next fixture saw him make his first start for Harps, scoring twice in an away win over Waterford United.[4]
When with Harps he helped the club gain promotion to the premier league.[5][6] Despite suffering hamstring issues in the later half of the season, he had scored a total of 5 goals for Harps during his loan period.[7]
Derry then recalled him back into their first team at the end of 2015, in time for the 2016 season.[8]
After his return, Boyle scored his first goals for Derry, coming on as a substitute, scoring the matchwinner with his second goal,[9] in a victory over Galway in March 2016.[10][11] The following month in a victory over Sligo Rovers, Boyle scored both Derry's goals,[12] to put Derry through to the EA Sports Cup quarter-finals.[13]
