Playing career

In October 2009 Boyle was selected for the Irish national squad for the European Cup.[5]

Boyle moved to Salford in 2010[4] but in April 2013 returned to Castleford and in October 2013 he signed a two-year extension to his contract.[6]

At the end of April 2016 it was reported that Boyle had signed for Batley on Dual registration,[7] but three weeks later he joined Halifax on a loan deal until the end of the season.[8] in which he made 16 appearances and scored one try. The move was made permanent in October 2016 with a deal for the 2017 season.[9]

In October 2017 Boyle joined Doncaster from Halifax on a two-year deal.[10]
