Wolverhampton Wanderers' Tommy Doyle has returned to the club after a loan spell at Birmingham City, and he's eager to prove himself in the Championship. The 24-year-old midfielder believes his experience in the league will help him contribute to the team's success.
What happened?
Doyle returned to Wolves after a loan spell at Birmingham City, where he played 1,899 minutes and grabbed three assists in the Championship last season. He featured in his third game for Wolves since returning, a 2-1 loss against La Liga side Real Sociedad.
Why it matters for Wolverhampton Wanderers
Doyle's experience in the Championship will be crucial for Wolves as they look to bounce back from relegation to the Premier League. He believes his knowledge of the league and his ability to adapt to the team's style will help him make a strong impression.
What comes next?
Wolves have two more pre-season friendlies left to play against Doncaster Rovers and Racing Santander before they play Port Vale in the Carabao Cup first round. Doyle is eager to get more minutes under his belt and prove himself as a key player for the team.
Doyle spoke about his experience in the Championship and how he believes it will help him contribute to the team's success. He said, "Every manager's different, so it's just about him putting his ideas across and you've got to be like a sponge, and really soak everything up, and sometimes there's a lot of information. We will get things wrong, which is normal, but in the majority we played really well. We were aggressive on the front foot, when we had to suffer, we suffered, but we suffered together, and we did some great things on the ball."
Doyle also spoke about his role in the team and how he believes it suits him. He said, "Out of possession it's more 4-4-2, so I'm a lot higher. It allows me to use my engine, and then 4-5-1 in possession, which is perfect. I grew up playing in that position, the position I played today is what I'm used to. It allows you to get up and down the pitch, and be aggressive with and without the ball, which I think is perfect for me."
The role that suits him
Doyle believes that his role in the team is perfect for him, and he's eager to get more minutes under his belt and prove himself as a key player. He said, "I've just got to keep working every day on the training pitch, keep proving to the manager that we're ready to go. I have a lot of experience in this league and I believe that will help a lot, so hopefully I can help as much as possible."
Doyle's return to Wolves has been a positive one, and he's eager to make a strong impression in the Championship. With his experience and ability to adapt to the team's style, he's well-positioned to contribute to the team's success.
