Tommy Doyle isn't giving up hope of returning to Manchester City as a first team regular, but accepts that won't happen next season.
Doyle, 20, has seven senior appearances for City and was under-23 captain as the academy won the FA Youth Cup and Premier League 2 in 2020/21. He had a difficult few months at Hamburg on loan for his first taste of senior football, but kicked on in the Championship at Cardiff in January.
He made 20 appearances in South Wales, scoring twice and assisting three times, as the Bluebirds successfully pulled clear of relegation danger with plenty of games to spare. He is attracting interest from higher-end Championship clubs and is likely to leave on loan next season again.
