So far he has 10 goals to his name, a tally which helped the Royals finish 2006 in the top half of the table.
The Republic of Ireland international, who is looking to add to that at Everton tomorrow, has been linked with a £5million move to Aston Villa.
Manager Steve Coppell has made it clear he regards such speculation as irksome, especially as the player has just signed a new contract tying him to the club until 2010.
And Doyle was determined not to let it affect a career he admits is still in the development stages.
He said: 'With things like that even if you start thinking about it you get ahead of yourself. I'm not ready for it.
'People who have been watching me probably think I can do better and I do too. I have been in the Premiership six months and I have a lot more to learn. I have only been in England for 18 months so I can't think about anything like that.
'It is different for players who have been brought up in England and come through when they are 14 or 15. I haven't done that so I have a lot more to learn before I can contemplate anything like that.
'I am at a good club where we are doing well and have a great manager who has looked after me. I love it here so at the moment I am not interested.'
Reading will be aiming to avenge last month's 2-0 defeat by the Toffees at the Madejski Stadium, when Andrew Johnson caused them all sorts of problems.
The England man scored one and set up the other and Doyle admitted he was a player he admired.
He said: 'He is someone I look up to. He came up from the Championship and did very well, went back down, came back up again and did well in the Premiership. It is not as though it was a one-season thing.
'When you do well in your first season people always wonder whether you will be a one-season wonder but he certainly isn't that, he's proved that.
'Any player would want to emulate that and although I have a long way to go to do that he is a player I look at to give me confidence.'
