Martin Boyle, born on 25 April 1993 in Scotland, is a forward who primarily plays as a right winger for Hibernian Football Club. Sporting the number 10 jersey, he stands at 1.78m (5ft 10in) tall and weighs 70kg (11st).
Boyle's football journey began in July 2009 when he joined Montrose in the League One in Scotland, as a trainee. His debut season saw him make a humble five appearances, but he soon progressed. In his third season (2011-2012), he made an impressive mark with 22 goals from 36 appearances.
In August 2012, he transferred to Dundee in the Premiership. However, his sojourn in Dundee was punctuated by a loan spell back at Montrose starting January 2013, during which he clocked up another 36 appearances and an admirable tally of 22 goals. On returning to Dundee in May 2013, his performance was somewhat subdued, peaking at four goals from 29 appearances.
Conflict and career progression saw Boyle on the move again in January 2015, this time on loan to Hibernian. His stint with Hibernian proved successful and he joined them permanently in July 2015. His peak performance for Hibernian so far has been in the 2020-2021 season, during which he made 36 appearances and scored 12 goals.
Boyle took a short detour to Saudi Arabian team Al-Faisaly in January 2022, for a substantial fee of around £3m. However, this venture was short-lived and he returned to Hibernian in August 2022. In the ongoing 2024-2025 season, he has made 28 appearances and scored nine goals.
His recent link up play has shown promise, with Boyle scoring three goals in five starts in the League Cup 2024-2025 for Hibernian. In the Scottish Cup 2024-2025, he boosted Hibernian's run with two goals in three starts.
Throughout his career, Boyle has proven himself to be a reliable and valued player, with an instinctive ability to find the back of the net. At 31, he continues to make his presence felt on the pitch and for Hibernian's supporters.
