A Leeds junior, Kyle started his professional career at nearby Hunslet and then Doncaster before Daryl Powell brought him to Post Office Road in 2009. That first season, he impressed enough to replace veteran Iestyn Harris in the halves. The following season his partnership with Liam Finn at half-back was one of the main reasons why Rovers swept all before them running away with the League Leaders Shield to top the table for the first time in the summer era. Briggs’ hatrick in the playoff semi-final helped Rovers to their second grand final, only to be denied by Halifax. With 20 tries and 117 goals his exploits did not go unnoticed and at the end of the year he transferred to Bradford in Super League.
Before his top-flight career had time to take off he suffered a series of niggling injuries and struggled to break into the Bulls’ first team. He was loaned out to London Broncos, a move which was going well until he broke his wrist. The following year, back at Odsal, he was dogged by knee ligament trouble and was still unable to win a first team spot. He was then loaned back to Rovers. That was a successful spell which ended with Kyle playing loose forward in the 2012 Grand final. Realising what he had been missing, Kyle re-signed for Rovers permanently for the 2013 season. That year was cut short by a serious knee injury which restricted him to just seven games. Once again he was given little time to re-establish himself in the first team at the beginning of the 2014 season, being loaned out first to Dewsbury, then to Sheffield who signed him up for the rest of the following year too. After a successful year and a half with the Eagles, he came back for Featherstone for the third time in 2016, thus making history by becoming the first player ever to sign for Featherstone Rovers three times. Yet another serious knee injury forced him into premature retirement during 2017.
