The Blues had signed the defender following his release from Shamrock Rovers at the end of the 2019 season. The full back played 57 competitive games for the Hoops during his two year spell in Tallaght following his signing from Finn Harps.

Boyle has had limited game time with Linfield, with the 24-year-old defender playing just nine games during his time in Belfast.
