Biography
Hull-born right back Lewie Coyle, brother of international boxer Tommy Coyle, joined City in August 2020. A suspension held over from the previous season meant Lewie didn’t make his Tigers debut until mid-September 2020 in a League Cup tie against his former club Leeds United, and a head injury further hampered his first team chances, as did Josh Emmanuel’s superb form as first choice right back..
Coyle started his football career as a youngster at Leeds United. After an illegal approach from Chelsea when he was only 10 years old, Coyle remained at Elland Road and made the grade through the academy system. He made his first team debut for Leeds in December 2015 League match at Nottingham Forest and ended the 2015/16 season with 13 first team appearances under his belt. After a further ten first team appearances in 2016/17, Coyle spent the next two and a half seasons on loan at Fleetwood Town, making 122 appearances. In January 2020 Coyle made his transfer to Fleetwood permanent, signing a three and a half year deal and quickly assisting The Fishermen to play-off victory and promotion to the Championship. It was therefore a considerable coup for Hull City to sign Lewie on a three year deal in August 2020.
