Rugby union career
Doherty was a former rugby league junior with Leeds Rhinos, but decided to pursue a career in the 15 a-side code. He made his debut with Leeds Tykes in May 2004, aged 17 years and 95 days, making him the youngest player in Premiership history.[1] He joined Wasps after Leeds Tykes were relegated from the 2005-06 Guinness Premiership.[2]
In May 2008, it was announced that Doherty would be joining Sale Sharks on a two-year contract.[3] His contract was not renewed by Sale and in June 2010 he was released. In October 2010, it was announced that he had signed for National League 2 South team Jersey.[4] Doherty made the perfect start to his Jersey career, scoring a try on his debut.[5]
On 21 April 2011, it was announced that Doherty would be joining RFU Championship side the Cornish Pirates at the end of the 2010-11 RFU Championship. He finished the season as top try scorer for the Cornish Pirates with 14 in 24 Championship appearances and in 2012–13 will play for Yorkshire Carnegie.[6]
After not being offered a new contract in 2016, Doherty became director of rugby at Harrogate.[7] He stepped down in 2022.[8]
