Football coaching
Tyler has worked as a coach for a number of teams managed by Alan Dowson. In 2005, he joined Walton & Hersham and has since worked with Dowson at Kingstonian and Hampton & Richmond Borough. In May 2018, he followed Dowson to National League club Woking, a team he has supported since he was young. Following the departure of Dowson in late February 2022, Tyler also opted to leave the club, concluding a four-year spell with the Surrey-based side.
Ahead of the 2022–23 season, Tyler linked up with Dowson again and became a coach at Dartford. In the 2023–24 season, Tyler joined Dowson as coach for a short interim spell at Hemel Hempstead Town.
