Former Norwich City star Simon Lappin has expressed confidence in Callum Doyle's ability to excel in the full-back role, despite his primary position as a centre-back. Currently on loan from Manchester City, Doyle is adapting well to his new position during the 2024/2025 season after a challenging spell at Leicester City marred by injury.
Doyle has made a significant impact at Carrow Road, starting all nine games this season and performing capably as a full-back. The Manchester City academy product has already assisted three goals in his new role, impressing both fans and analysts. Lappin praised Doyle’s adaptability, stating, “Doyle has shown us versatility; he has played there [as a full-back] for the last three or four games. He is a centre-back I think, first and foremost, but he is more than capable of playing there.”
The assessment comes from insights shared on Canary Call and has been reported by Inside Futbol. Doyle’s performances are promising as he aims to contribute further to Norwich's objectives under the management of Johannes Hoff Thorup throughout the season.
