Brace for Doyle in MLS Combine match

Manx defender looking to impress

Liam Doyle has been doing his best to impress football coaches and scouts in the United States over the last few days.

He's currently taking part in the MLS Combine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The combine sees sixty hand-picked players, mostly from US colleges, take part in a series of matches and physical tests, under the watchful gaze of key staff from Major League Soccer franchises.

Doyle, a defender, managed a brace in one of the matches, a 2-1 win.

Playing for 'Team Chaos' against 'Team Ace' (the players are split up into four fifteen-man squads), he scored with a looping header at the back post, and a low free-kick from the edge of the area.
