Club career

Hamilton

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

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

On 20 August 2020, Docherty signed for Hull City on a three-year deal. [22] [23] He scored his first goal for the Tigers in a 1–1 draw away at Oxford United on 5 December 2020. [24] On 2 May 2023, it was announced that Docherty's goal in Hull's 3–1 win over Blackpool had won the club's Goal of the Season award for the 2022–23 campaign. [25]

He was released by the club at the end of the 2023–24 season. [26]

International career

Docherty has represented Scotland at under-17 and under-21 youth international levels. [27] 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]
