Bradford (Park Avenue) are thrilled to confirm the signing of 26-year-old forward George Doyle, who joins the club following a remarkable goal-scoring season with Golcar United.
Doyle netted an incredible 35 goals during the 2024/25 campaign, having joined Golcar in October 2023. His clinical finishing and intelligent movement in and around the box made him one of the most feared strikers in the division.
His journey to Avenue has been anything but ordinary. Doyle began making a name for himself at Emley AFC between 2020 and 2022, rising through the U23 ranks to the first team and scoring 19 goals across his time there. His standout performances earned him the Non League Yorkshire Player of the Month award in February 2022, securing over 1,000 votes.
In 2022, he made the bold move to Australia to play for Buderim Wanderers, where he continued his fine form, scoring 16 goals during the 2022/23 season.
A return to West Yorkshire followed in 2023, signing with Golcar United. After a strong start, Doyle exploded into life during the 2024/25 campaign with a phenomenal 35-goal haul, underlining his reputation as a natural goalscorer.
Born and raised in Salendine Nook, Doyle began his football journey locally before earning a scholarship opportunity in Kentucky, USA, through the ProSoccer agency while at Huddersfield New College. Though his time in the States was cut short, it instilled a strong sense of independence and resilience that continues to drive his footballing career.
Manager Craig Elliott is confident Doyle has what it takes to succeed at the next level:
“George is a player that our scouts have been monitoring closely and we’ve had nothing but positive reports. I’m really excited to see how he develops and steps up to the league.
“He scored a lot of goals last season and I’ve no doubt he’s capable of making the step up. While it’s important we bring in experienced players from higher up the pyramid, it’s just as vital to strike a balance by signing hungry players who want to develop and improve – and George fits that perfectly.”
Doyle now links up with Craig Elliott’s squad ahead of the 2025/26 season, bringing with him an outstanding track record and a hunger to prove himself once again.
Welcome to Bradford (Park Avenue), George!
