The 29-year-old left back has joined the Somerset Park club from Airdrieonians, where he was the captain, and the deal sees him reunited with Ian McCall.
Boyle played under McCall when the latter was manager of Partick Thistle, but will now attempt to help Ayr United win promotion from the Scottish League One next season, after a disappointing eighth place finish this time around.
The club will be able to make use of flyer printing in Ayr if they want to generate enthusiasm for the new season around the town, during the summer months.
In an interview with the club’s official website, McCall stated that:
“I am thrilled to get Paddy to sign as in my opinion he was the best left back in our league last season.
“I signed him when I was at Partick and he did well for me there and he will have no problems fitting into our squad.”
The signing of Boyle comes hot on the heels of the news that Nicky Devlin – voted Ayr United player of the season – has committed himself to a new contract with the club. McCall went on to state that the two would be his first-choice full backs for next season.
