Martin Boyle, born on 25 April 1993, is a Scottish footballer who mainly operates as a right winger for Hibernian Football Club. His formative years in the sport were spent at Montrose, where he arrived as a trainee in July 2009. Boyle's initial season saw him make five league appearances, with his contribution steadily increasing over the following seasons. He scored his first goals for the club during the 2010-2011 season, hitting the back of the net three times in 23 league appearances. His impressive form continued in the succeeding seasons, culminating in a return of 22 goals from 36 league matches in the 2011-2012 season.
In August 2012, Boyle transferred to Dundee FC, immersing himself in the higher level of play at the Premiership. He made nine first team appearances in his first season, a figure that increased to 29 in the following year, yielding four goals. However, Boyle retained a connection with Montrose, returning to the club on loan in January 2013. He ensured a productive loan spell by repeating previous impressive performances, most notably, a prolific return of nine goals in 15 appearances during the 2012-2013 season. Upon the completion of his loan, Boyle re-joined Dundee, making further contributions before making yet another move in his career.
In January 2015, Boyle signed for Hibernian on loan, a move that later became permanent in July of the same year. Boyle quickly integrated himself with the Edinburgh outfit, making 17 appearances and scoring three goals in his first season. Over the ensuing years, Boyle established himself as an integral part of Hibs's attacking force, racking up numerous appearances and progressively better scoring returns. His best goal return to date was during the 2024-2025 season, where he managed to score 15 goals from 36 appearances.
A brief interlude in Boyle's tenure with Hibs came in January 2022, when he was sold to Al-Faisaly in Saudi Arabia for around £3m. However, by August of the same year, he was back in Scottish football, re-joining Hibernian under undisclosed terms. Since his return, Boyle has continued to be a crucial player for Hibs, offering consistent performances and a continuous goal threat.
Boyle has also received international recognition, appearing for the Australia national team. His highlights include scoring two goals in seven starts in the World Cup Qualifiers Asia 2024 - 2026. In a club level, Boyle has been involved in several cup competitions for Hibernian, including the Scottish Cup, League Cup, and the Europa and Conference League Qualifiers.
