Coyle was educated at St. John Fisher Catholic High School, Wigan. He signed for the Wigan Warriors from the local amateur team Wigan St Patricks. He moved into the Wigan Academy Under 18s in 2005.

Coyle was selected for Lancashire U17s and England U15s and U16s while part of the Wigan scholarship and Academy systems.
