at Anfield in the third round of the English League Cup. In both the 00–01 and 01–02 seasons Coyne's performances would go on to see him be crowned the Supporters' Player of The Season; as well as this, he became a regular fixture in the Welsh international side. In the 2002–2003 season at Grimsby he was part of a Welsh International trio of himself, John Oster and Darren Barnard who were on the books at Town. It was during that season that Grimsby would find themselves being relegated from the First Division after a five-year stay, and this would see the end of Coyne's Grimsby career. Leicester City During the summer of 2003, Coyne signed for Premier League club Leicester City as the club's second choice keeper.

He had previously struggled to hold down a starting place for Wales, winning 11 caps in 10 years but at Burnley he had managed to finally secure his first team place after several fine performances in the 2004–05 season. After recovering from an injury sustained at Queens Park Rangers in that season, he went into the 2005–06 season as first choice for Wales' FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Coyne was not yet deemed fully fit by Burnley manager Steve Cotterill at the start of the 2005–06 season, although he was selected at the start of the season for the Welsh squad before he had played again for Burnley. Once again, an injury and the good form of Brian Jensen saw him relegated to substitute and Coyne talked openly of the possibility of leaving Burnley at the end of his contract at the close of the 2006–07 season. This was confirmed on 8 May. Return to Tranmere Rovers Coyne was re-signed by his original club, Tranmere Rovers, on 3 July 2007 on a free transfer. Coyne immediately re-established himself as the club's first choice goalkeeper, missing just five league games in his first season back at Prenton Park. Described by his manager Ronnie Moore as "The best goal keeper in League One" Coyne played nearly every game during
