About the player
Doyle-Hayes came through Aston Villa's academy and stayed on with the first team from 2017, though senior league football never followed there — his only Villa appearances came in three League Cup ties.
Game time arrived through loans instead. Cambridge United took him in January 2019 for half a dozen matches, then Cheltenham Town, where he made 30 league appearances and was named the club's player of the month in his first August there.
A permanent move to St Mirren in November 2020 gave him a settled season in Scotland, 22 league games and a goal, before Hibernian signed him in July 2021 on a two-year deal.
He returned to Ireland in February 2025 with Sligo Rovers, playing half a season there before moving to England again in August 2025, signing a two-year contract with Exeter City.
Internationally, Doyle-Hayes has represented Ireland at youth level from under-17 through to under-21, without a senior call-up to date.
