Playing career
Club
Doyle plays his club hurling with the Erin's Own club in his home town. After coming to prominence at juvenile and underage levels he joined the club's senior team while he was still a minor.
In 2009 Doyle played in his first final of the county senior championship. It was Erin's Own first appearance in a championship decider since 1970. Mount Leinster Rangers provided the opposition and won by 1-13 to 1-11.[1]
Inter-county
Doyle first played for Carlow as a member of the county's minor hurling team in 2006. It was a fairly successful year as the county reached their first Leinster final. Kilkenny provided the opposition and went on to crush Carlow by 4-22 to 1-5.[2] Doyle was eligible for the minor grade again in 2007, however, Carlow exited the championship at an early stage. He later spent a number of years as a member of the Carlow under-21 team but enjoyed little success in this grade.[citation needed]
Doyle made his senior championship debut in 2011 when he was named at midfield in a defeat by Antrim in the All-Ireland qualifiers.[3]
