Martin Boyle, a native of Scotland, was born on April 25th, 1993 and has walked the footballing path for the better part of 32 years. A versatile forward who predominantly graces the right-wing role for Hibernian; and when he's not tearing up the Premiership in Scotland, he's making a name for himself with the Australia national team. At 5ft 10in (1.78m) tall and weighing 11st (70kg), Boyle has been a formidable presence on the pitch, wearing the number 10 jersey with pride.
In July 2009, Boyle began his football education with a trainee position at Montrose, participating in League One in Scotland.

His emerging talent caught the eyes of Dundee in the Premiership in Scotland and in August 2012, Boyle transferred from Montrose to Dundee for an undisclosed fee. He made numerous first team appearances and scored a number of goals during his tenure with Dundee.
A return loan stint to Montrose further bolstered Boyle's tally before returning to Dundee in May 2013.

In January 2022, Boyle transferred from Hibernian to Al-Faisaly in the First Division in Saudi Arabia for a fee of around £3m. This stint however lasted only for a while as he returned to Hibernian in August 2022 and continued his scintillating form, making numerous first team appearances and scoring many goals.
