DUBLIN-BORN midfielder Daire Doyle hopes to help Harriers up their goal tally in future weeks by displaying a different side to his game.

The 20-year-old, who made his fifth start for Jan Molby's men in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Leyton Orient, thinks he can make an impact in-front of goal.

Doyle wants to earn a longer deal at Aggborough - his current contract is up at the end of the season.

And Molby gave the former Coventry City man a different agenda, playing him in a free role rather than out wide, after recalling him from the subs bench for record signing Andy Ducros.

Doyle said: "The gaffer explained to me that I was being rested and I realise I'm only a young lad who's just starting out.

"I was delighted to be called back in and I'd rather play every week. I played more in a free role which I did when I was younger. I was mostly a central-midfielder at Coventry.

"I'm enjoying myself here. It's a good club and I've been impressed with the gaffer. I would like to sign here for longer but first I must take each game as it comes and do our best as a team to pick up points.

"I'm just waiting to score a goal. I've always scored goals from midfield."

Doyle, like his boss Molby, felt Harriers should have made the most of their first-half dominance.

He admitted: "We were well on top in the first half and had chances. We should have punished them with the amount of possession we had and our good play.

"They had all guns blazing in the second half and we were giving away some stupid balls. They were coming at us and we were happy to come away with a point, not many teams do that here.

"There were a couple of tackles flying in but we competed well and the defence cleared quite a few balls."

It appeared there were no arguments with Carl Griffiths' red card in the Harriers camp with Doyle adding: "He came right across with his studs. It was a red card."
