Robbie Doyle (born 22 April 1982 in Bray) is an Irish soccer player who currently plays for Eircom League of Ireland First Division club Sporting Fingal. .
[edit] Career
The "journeyman" started his career with Blackburn Rovers spending 3 years at the club. He had loan spells at Huddersfield Town and Oldham Athletic before returning back to Ireland.
Doyle had a short spell at St Patrick's Athletic on his return before joining Bray Wanderers in time for the 2001/02 season. He made a handful of appearances at the club when Paul Doolin offered him regular first team football at UCD and so Doyle was on his way again. He scored on his debut for UCD on the first day of the 2002/03 season against Bohemians and his performances that season impressed Stephen Kenny enough to offer him a move to Bohemians at the end of the season. Doyle made a decent start to life at Dalymount and played in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers but he fell out with Kenny and in mid 2004, he returned once again to St Patricks Athletic. He has since played for Bray Wanderers (again) and Macclesfield Town.[1]
On July 4th, 2007, Robbie agreed to sign for Dundalk FC from Macclesfield Town.
He has also represented Ireland at Under-15, Under-16, Under-17 and Under-21 levels. He got his only U21 cap in Finland in 2002.
He scored twice against France while playing for Ireland Under 17s [2].
He was released at the end of the 2007 season by Dundalk.
