Comment: It doesn't look like this person has yet met the notability guidelines for athletes. Maybe wait for them to come on the pitch and get an article or two written about them from someone not directly involved with Hull City. Reconrabbit 14:50, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Career
Hull City
Coyle came through the youth ranks of his hometown club, Hull City. On 24 August 2022, it was announced that he had been made captain of the U18s for the upcoming 2022–23 season.[2][3] On 7 December 2023, Coyle signed his first professional contract with the Tigers.[4] By this time, he had been involved with the senior side on one occasion, making the bench for the 1–1 home draw with Plymouth Argyle on 30 September 2023, although he did not come on the pitch.[5]
Non-league loans
On 8 July 2025, having still not made his senior debut, Coyle joined National League side Boston United on a six-month long loan.[6][7] His professional debut eventually came on 9 August, when Coyle played the opening 57 minutes of the Pilgrims' 2–1 win over Middlesbrough U21s in the National League Cup, before being replaced by Jordan Cropper.[8] The following week, he made his league debut, coming off the bench for Jordan Richards as Boston recorded a 3–2 victory away at Aldershot Town on 16 August.[9] Three months later, on 14 November, Hull announced that Coyle had been recalled early from Boston in order to be sent straight back out on a month-long loan to National League North side Scarborough Athletic.[10][11] He made his debut for the Seadogs the next day, coming off the bench in a 1–0 defeat away at Leek Town in the FA Trophy.[12] Coyle's loan was later extended by a further month, before he returned to Hull in January 2026.[13]
Personal life
Coyle is the youngest of four brothers in a sporting family. His eldest brother, Tommy, is a retired professional boxer and former Commonwealth lightweight champion. His other two brothers are professional golfer Joe and his Hull City teammate and captain, Lewie.[14][15]
In May 2025, a video surfaced online of a man, believed to be Coyle, intervening in a street fight outside the Empress Pub, Hull. In the video, Coyle is seen alleviating the situation by removing one of the men involved, suspected to be his brother Lewie. On 5 May, Hull City said they were investigating the matter but would not make any further comment at that moment.[16][17][18] The next day, it was reported that a 39-year-old man had been charged with a public order offence in relation to the incident and had been released on conditional bail ahead of an upcoming trial at Hull Magistrates' Court.[19]
