Birmingham had to get promoted for the deal to be made permanent.
Transcript
00:00Tommy Doyle appears increasingly likely to return to Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer with his loan spell at Birmingham City failing
00:10to develop into a permanent move.
00:13Doyle joined Birmingham at the start of the season under an agreement that included a clause obligating the club to
00:20sign him permanently if they secured promotion.
00:23However, that outcome now looks improbable. Birmingham currently sits 11th in the championship, 10 points adrift of the playoff places
00:31now with just seven games remaining.
00:34The gap leaves them facing a significant challenge to break into the top six, making the activation of Doyle's transfer
00:42clause increasingly unlikely.
00:44Doyle's involvement at Birmingham has also diminished in recent weeks with the midfielder starting just one of the club's last
00:5410 league matches.
00:55Despite that, though, he has built up valuable experience in the championship through spells with Sheffield United and Cardiff City
01:05and Birmingham making close to 100 appearances in the division in total.
01:11Now, Wolves are expected to undergo significant changes this summer, with several players likely to depart if Wolves are relegated
01:20from the Premier League.
01:21Doyle's return could move beneficial, offering both squad depth and a cost-effective option as the club looks to reshape
01:28ahead of next season.
