Early and personal life
[edit]Docherty is from Milngavie[3] and attended Douglas Academy.[6] He is of Irish heritage, through his grandparents.[7]
Club career
[edit]Hamilton Academical
[edit]Docherty joined Hamilton Academical at the age of 9 and progressed through all academy levels from u10s to the first team,[3] and turned professional in October 2012.[8] He made his senior debut on 7 December 2013.[9] In April 2015 he signed a new contract with the club, until the summer of 2017.[10] He scored his first senior career goal on 9 May 2015, an 85th-minute equaliser in a 1–1 home draw against Partick Thistle.[3][11]
On 28 May 2017 he scored the only goal of the two-legged 2016–17 Scottish Premiership playoff tie against Dundee United, ensuring Hamilton would remain in the top division for the next season.[12] He signed a new contract in August 2017, until 2020.[13]
Rangers
[edit]On 25 January 2018, Docherty signed for his boyhood club Rangers on a four-and-a-half-year contract.[14] On 8 August 2018, Docherty joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan deal.[15][16] At the end of the 2018–19 season he was voted Shrewsbury's Player of the Year.[17]
Upon his return to Rangers for the 2019–20 season he made 5 appearances, but none after August, and in December 2019 he was linked with a move away from the club in the January transfer window.[18] Docherty was loaned to Hibernian on 31 January, with Florian Kamberi moving in the opposite direction.[19] Docherty had an immediate impact with Hibs, scoring in a 2–1 win at Kilmarnock on 16 February.[20] Following the formal conclusion of the truncated 2019/20 season, Docherty returned to his parent club in May 2020.[21]
Hull City
[edit]On 20 August 2020, Docherty signed a three-year deal with Hull City for an undisclosed fee.[22][23] He debuted for the Tigers in their EFL Cup first round tie away at Sunderland on 5 September 2020, with Hull winning via a penalty shoot-out after a 0–0 draw.[24] He then made his league debut the following week, on the opening day of the 2020–21 season, a 2–0 away victory at Gillingham.[25] Docherty scored his first goal for the Tigers in a 1–1 away draw with Oxford United on 5 December 2020.[26] On 2 May 2023, it was announced that Docherty's goal in Hull's 3–1 win away at Blackpool had won the club's Goal of the Season award for the 2022–23 campaign.[27]
Docherty was released by Hull at the end of the 2023–24 season, having made 142 appearances across all competitions during his four years with the club.[28] His final appearance for the Tigers was their 3–0 win over Queens Park Rangers on 13 April 2024,[29] a game in which Docherty came off the bench, replacing Jean Michaël Seri with five minutes to go.[30]
Charlton Athletic
[edit]On 5 July 2024, Docherty joined Charlton Athletic on a three-year deal, with a club option of an additional year.[31][32] He was subsequently named as club captain on 1 August 2024, after taking up the role unofficially during pre-season.[33] On 10 August 2024, Docherty made his competitive debut for Charlton in their 1–0 away win at Wigan Athletic on the opening day of the 2024–25 season.[34] His first goal for the Addicks came on 24 August 2024, scoring the opener in their 2–0 win over Bolton Wanderers at the Valley.[35]
International career
[edit]Docherty has represented Scotland at under-17 and under-21 youth international levels.[36] After Docherty was left out of the under-21 squad in September 2017, it was suggested in media reports that he may instead play for the Republic of Ireland.[7]
