McCarthy praise for ‘outstanding’ Doyle

MICK McCARTHY has hailed the impact of Wolves record signing Kevin Doyle ahead of the vital Premier League relegation clash at Hull.

McCarthy believes the Republic of Ireland international produced one of the best displays ever seen by a Wolves centre-forward at Molineux during Tuesday’s goalless draw with Liverpool when he played as the sole striker in a 4-5-1 formation.

Doyle made the £6.5 million (€7.5m) switch from Reading in the summer and has produced performances of a consistently high standard and also weighed in with five of Wolves’ paltry tally of 17 top flight goals in 22 matches.
