Biographical Text
Kyle Edwards played for Exeter City on loan during 2017/18 and scored in the play-off final defeat against Coventry City. He then returned to West Bromwich Albion and later moved to Ipswich Town.
Kyle had been in WBA’s youth set-up since the age of six and had become a scholar/trainee in 2015. Joining Exeter City on loan on 31 August 2017 (together with fellow Albion player Kane Wilson) he made his debut in senior football as a substitute against Notts County in September 2017. All told he made 28 appearances for the Grecians in all competitions including coming on as a 73rd minute substitute - and scoring in the 89th minute - as Exeter lost 3-1 to Coventry in the 2017/18 play-off final. Aside from an EFL Trophy strike against Plymouth this was his only goal for the club.
Kyle featured 11 times for Albion in all competitions in 2018/19 around which time he played for England under-20s having previously appeared at under-16 and under-17 level. He then made 30 first-team appearances in 2019/20, including the FA win at West Ham, as Albion won promotion to the Premier League.
Kyle made his Premier League debut in September 2020 but, after making five top-flight appearances, left for Ipswich Town in August 2021 on a three-year deal. He made eighteen appearances during his first season at Portman Road and remained at the club in 2022/23 when he appeared over thirty times (usually as a substitute) as Ipswich won promotion to the Championship. At the start of the following season he joined Oxford United on what was intended to be a season-long loan. Hit by injury, Kyle only played a handful of games for his new club before he was recalled by Ipswich in January 2024 ahead of his contract with the Suffolk club being terminated by mutual consent. Within days he joined Oxford United on a deal until the end of the season and, although he did not appear again because of injury, left the club in the summer only to return again in September 2024 wheh he made his re-appearance as a substitute against Bristol City.
