In March 2005, Coyle was released by Morton and signed for Arbroath until the end of the 2004–05 season.[2] At the end of the season he joined Third Division club Berwick Rangers.[3]

After leaving Berwick in 2006, Coyle joined the junior ranks moving to Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic[4] in the town of Bonnyrigg in Midlothian, where he won the Scottish Junior Football East Region Super League in the 2008–09 season.[5]
