Coyle was nominated for both Fleetwood Town's Player Of The Year and Young Player Of The Year awards at their annual ceremony.
On 5 May 2018, Coyle won the Players' Player of the Year Award.
After impressing in his second spell at the with Fleetwood, Manager Joey Barton described of Coyle 'for us he has been first class; he trains properly, he is willing to learn, open all ears and is keen on developing as a player. For me he is a pleasure to work with, someone who you would love at your football club'.
On 5 July 2019, Coyle signed for Fleetwood Town on a 6-month loan, making it his 3rd loan spell in a row at the club. This then resulted in Coyle putting his signature on a permanent contract with Fleetwood on 10 January 2020, the deal lasting three-and-a-half years.
