Doyle struck the only goal of the game in the midday clash that saw Bolton defeat promotion rivals Forest Green Rovers. The 1-0 win sees Bolton jump over their opponents into third in the table.
It was a brilliant 39th minute finish by Doyle that proved the match-winner, his 16th goal of the season in League Two for Bolton.
Doyle was in prolific form last season after winning the League Two Player of the Year award, then in action for Swindon Town as he scored 26 times in 28 appearances while on loan from Bradford City.
The 33-year-old joined Bolton Wanderers this season and has been in an excellent run of late, today’s goal his fifth in his last eight league appearances.
And Doyle was not the only Irishman who had a good day in League Two.
Wes Hoolahan grabbed a 90th-minute assist, as table toppers Cambridge earned a 2-1 victory over Carlisle.
It was the 38-year-old Dubliner’s 29th appearance this season, with five goals to his name, including the winner during last week’s 1-0 victory over Forest Green.
Another former Ireland international was on target, as Mansfield drew 1-1 with Tranmere.
34-year-old Stephen Quinn scored his first goal for the club since joining on loan from Burton Albion, as his spectacular 76th-minute volley earned a point for the visitors.
Former Ireland U21 international Conor Wilkinson was on target amid Leyton Orient’s 2-1 victory over Oldham.
Another ex-Ireland U21 international Liam McAlinden got the winning goal in Morecambe’s 1-0 victory over Cheltenham Town.
And finally, in the National League, Dubliner Paddy Madden scored his first Stockport goal since joining the club from Fleetwood amid a 1-1 draw against Hartlepool, cancelling out the opener from former League of Ireland player Gavan Holohan.
