The 18-year-old midfielder joined Saints’ academy at the age of nine and signed his first professional contract in 2022. He has also represented England at under-19 level.

Doyle made his first-team debut for Southampton when he came off the bench in the 3-1 Premier League defeat to the Seagulls at the Amex last May.

He made a further first-team appearance in August as a substitute against Gillingham in the Carabao Cup.
