In the Hyundai A-League 2018/19 Season, Doyle made 15 appearances under former boss Mark Rudan, starting in 13 of those matches.
New coach Ufuk Talay has made four signings since taking the reins from now-Western United coach Rudan, but there have also been key departures.
Doyle joins the likes of experienced defender Andrew Durante, and star strikers Roy Krishna and David Williams as players who have left the New Zealanders.
