Playing Style
Boyle is a direct, pacey wide forward whose game is built on dribbling, energy and a goal threat from the flanks. He runs at defenders and stretches the play down the sides, the kind of attacker who can cut in to shoot or get to the byline.
A prolific scorer for Hibernian, he carries that end product into the national side, with 10 goals in 41 caps for Australia. His pace and willingness to run in behind give Tony Popovic an option to attack space when Australia break forward.
