Doel was selected for Wales in the Under-20s Six Nations having previously represented his country at all age groups from Under-16s. [4] He did not make an appearance for the side, as the U20 season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 16 April 2021, Doel signed for English side Worcester Warriors on loan for the 2020-21 Premiership Rugby season. [5] On 29 April 2021, following impressive performances for the side, Doel signed a permanent deal to stay with Worcester ahead of the 2021-22 season. [6] On 5 October 2022 all Worcester players had their contacts terminated due to the liquidation of the company to which they were contracted. [7]

Following the collapse of Worcester, Doel rejoined Llandovery on 9 November 2022. [8] He combined his playing career with a part-time job working for the family construction firm. [9]

On 10 March 2023, Doel made his first appearance for the Scarlets, in a friendly against the Saracens. [10]
