TOMMY DOYLE says there is ‘a clear path’ to what will happen at Birmingham City.
The Wolves midfielder has come to St Andrew’s on a season-long loan – and wants to be part of the progression made at Blues over the past 12 months.
Doyle, 23, told the club’s official website: “I’m really excited. It’s a big club with big ambition, so I’m looking forward to getting involved and getting down to work.
“I’m a football fan first and foremost and obviously I’m aware of what the club did last season, but the most important thing now is building on that and improving.
“The way the club is going about its business is really impressive, and it shows that the club is only going one way.
“That’s really exciting for us as players, for staff members and, most importantly, for the fans.
“There’s a clear path on what’s happening and what’s going to happen, so in the meantime you’ve got to trust the process, live in the moment and enjoy it, and I’m looking forward to doing that.
“I knew about the move quite early on, which again was nice because it showed the intent of the football club that they wanted me, so that always feels good.
“You always take that into consideration when making a decision, but the ambition of this football club and the way it’s going, it’s difficult to turn down.”
Doyle began in the youth ranks at Manchester City, then went out on loan at Hamburg and Cardiff City, before heading to Sheffield United where he scored four goals and provided seven assists in 38 appearances as the Blades won promotion to the Premier League.
Wolves then signed Doyle after a loan spell at Molineux.
The Manchester-born player added: “I think everyone wants to be a Premier League footballer.
“When I was at Wolves I played around 50 games in the Premier League, but of course, if it’s not consistent, you want to keep striving for more.
“Hopefully I can come here, play a lot of games and the main goal is to take this club to the Premier League. So, if we can achieve that, then that would be incredible.”
