Colin Anthony Doyle (born June 12, 1985 in Cork, Ireland) is an Irish footballer who plays for Birmingham City as a goalkeeper.
[edit] Club career
Having signed a professional contract with Birmingham as an 18 year old, he has had loan spells at Chester City and Nottingham Forest, during neither of which he saw much first-team action. His first competitive match in English football was a 1–0 win for Chester against Rochdale on November 2, 2004 in the LDV Vans Trophy.
He played his schoolboy football in Ireland with Douglas Hall in Cork from Under 8 up to Under 15, when he joined Birmingham City. He has progressed through the Birmingham ranks and made his competitive debut against Shrewsbury Town in the 2006–07 Carling Cup, keeping a clean sheet in the 1–0 win. He followed up this appearance with his League debut against Cardiff City, where Birmingham lost 2–0. In February 2007 he started a run of first team appearances in the Championship, including a game against Wolverhampton Wanderers in which he made a series of good saves and saved a penalty in the latter stages of the game from Wolves midfielder Michael McIndoe, the game ending with Birmingham City winning 3–2 and returning to the top of the Championship.
[edit] International career
In August 2006, Doyle played against Greece away for Ireland Under 21s and kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory.
