Robbie Doyle (born 22 April 1982, Bray) is a retired Irish soccer player. He most recently played for League of Ireland Premier Division club Bray Wanderers, in 2010. He is now currently a male model, featuring recently in BMW's ad for Winter 2011, and also a solo artist.
The "journeyman" started his career with Blackburn Rovers spending 3 years at the club.
He returned home to sign for his home town club Bray Wanderers in time for the 2001/02 season making his League of Ireland debut as a substitute at Tolka Park on the 9th of November. He made a handful of appearances at the club when Paul Doolin offered him regular first team football at UCD and so Doyle was on his way again. He scored on his debut for UCD on the first day of the 2002/03 season against Bohemians and his performances that season impressed Stephen Kenny enough to offer him a move to Bohemians at the end of the season. Doyle made a decent start to life at Dalymount and played in all of Bohs' four 2003–04 UEFA Champions League qualifiers but he fell out with Kenny and in mid-2004, he returned once again to St Patricks Athletic. He has since played for Bray Wanderers (again) and Macclesfield Town.
On 4 July 2007, Robbie agreed to sign for Dundalk FC from Macclesfield Town.
