Eoin Doyle (born 12 March 1988) is an Irish professional footballer, currently playing for League Two club Portsmouth FC on loan from Preston North End.
Doyle has previously played for Chesterfield and Cardiff, as well as Shelbourne, Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers in his native Ireland and Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League.
Doyle was born in Dublin and had a very successful underage career which included playing for the U15 Republic of Ireland national football team. He began his underage club career at then Irish champions Shelbourne, however after three years he left for Cherry Orchard in 2001. He was widely tipped to make the move to English football within a few years as his coaches believed him to be of such a standard.
Following a four-year spell with Dublin club Crumlin United, Doyle returned to Shelbourne just as they were demoted after the 2006 League of Ireland season. He was one of new boss Dermot Keely's first signings and was expected to make a large impact at the club, his time there was cut short and he was released soon afterwards after a disappointing spell for him and the club.
Later on in the 2007 season he signed for Shamrock Rovers. He was promoted from the U21s to the senior squad during the 2007 season, making his début against Waterford United on 10 August 2007. It was speculated that he would move to a different club following former manager Pat Scully's departure however he remained at the club for the 2009 season. He was a substitute for Stephen Bradley in the first game at Tallaght Stadium. Unfortunately for Doyle he did not become a major player under new Rovers manager, Michael O'Neill.
