Career
Pyle appeared infrequently for Lincoln"s first team, making only 30 appearances in senior competition over six seasons. In March 1899 – four years after his Football League debut – the Sheffield Independent described him as "a local youth who had been introduced at outside left", who "played a very fine game, and was on more than one occasion the recipient of a splendid ovation at the hands of the spectators" as Lincoln beat Newton Heath 2–0. Pyle opened the scoring in Lincoln"s next game, a 2–2 draw with Small Heath, and his third and last senior goal came on the opening day of the 1899–1900 Football League season, in a 3–0 defeat of Middlesbrough.
He also played local football in the Lincoln area.
