'Bad moment' to team of the season - Doyle's turnaround

"But I think everybody can see what a class player Callum is.

"He's got a lot of experience for someone so young and the aim is for him now to finish his season strongly."

Doyle is grateful for the support of Wrexham's staff, and team-mates, during those difficult opening weeks of the season.

He had arrived at the newly-promoted Championship club in mid-August, two league games into the new campaign.

"You know, at the start, I did struggle," Doyle admited.

"At the start it wasn't the best and at the time I was a bit down.

"But since then I think I've improved a lot and I think everyone can see around the building that my mood's changed."

And the former England Under-21 international recognises the improvements that have come from working closely with Wrexham's coaching team.

"It helps with the staff pushing me every day, working with me, improving me, day in, day out," added Doyle.

"I just talk to them, little chats just in training, just to keep me going and confident.

"And I'm thankful that it's worked out this season.

"And, you know, it helps that we've got a really good bunch of lads that are helping me along the way as well."

A graduate of the Manchester City academy, Doyle did not make a senior appearance for the Citizens prior to his move to Wrexham last summer.

He had, however, enjoyed promotions during loan spells with Sunderland and Leicester - something he is hoping to achieve with Wrexham.

Wrexham are two points off the play-offs with three games remaining, beginning with an away trip to Oxford United on Tuesday.

"Getting promoted is probably one of the best feelings in football," Doyle said.

"The Championship this year, you know, it's tough. Everything's so tight, especially now. We've got to focus on ourselves at the moment - big three games to go.

"We've just got to keep going, keep doing what we're doing - keep just trying our hardest and putting the effort in.

"We've got to go for it and I think the fans will help with that, especially the travelling fans."
