As well as that start against Southampton, he was also an FA Cup substitute versus Port Vale.

He played in both competitions and the Champions League the following season.

Last season was spent playing second-tier football on loan at first Hamburg, then Cardiff City, where he played in April's 1-0 defeat at Bramall Lane.

"I'm excited to be here, I'm ready and looking forward to starting the season," said Doyle. "I got the phone call that Sheffield United was interested and it is hard to say no to a club like this. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, I know one or two already, but I'm focused on getting down to work and preparing for the new season.

"I played for Cardiff at Bramall Lane last season and it wasn't easy. It was a tough day that I remember well, the fans and stadium were brilliant and I'm looking forward to playing there again."

A holding or box-to-box midfielder, Doyle is also adept at taking set-pieces.

He has joined his new club on their pre-season training camp in Portugal.
