In the 2010–11 season, Doble appeared on the substitutes bench in Southampton's league campaign but was not used. He made his only first-team appearance for the club in an FA Cup game against Coventry City on 7 January 2012 where he played for 59 minutes before being replaced by Sam Hoskins. On 19 May, it was announced that he was to be released at the end of his contract. [4] [5]

Loan to Stockport County

On 17 February 2011, Doble joined Stockport County on loan for one month. [6] [7] He made his debut on 19 February in a 4–1 defeat by Macclesfield Town. [8]

In his second appearance on 26 February, he scored County's second goal at Bradford City before being sent off in the 64th minute, following a challenge on Luke Oliver; with Adam Griffin having already been sent off, nine-man County were unable to hang on to their lead and lost 3–2. [9] [10] After making three appearances for Stockport, Doble returned to his parent club. [11]

Other loans

On 22 March 2011 it was announced that Doble would join Oxford United on loan until the end of the season. [12] On 2 April, Doble made his debut for club, coming on as a substitute for Tom Craddock on a 58 minutes. He returned to Southampton early due to injury after making three appearances.

On 11 August 2011, he joined Bournemouth on a month's loan; [13] which was later extended by a further month; however this loan was also cut short by injury [14] having made seven appearances for the club. Two days later after signing for Bournemouth, Doble made his debut for club in a 2–0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.

On 17 January 2012, he joined League One side Bury on a month-long loan. [15] He made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against Charlton Athletic where he provided an assist for Lenell John-Lewis.

[16]

Shrewsbury Town

On 20 June 2012, he joined League One side Shrewsbury Town., [17] [18] but was released after just one season having only made one start and four substitute appearances. Shrewsbury manager Graham Turner said on Doble's release, "He worked hard and he can look at it, I think, and say that he had very few opportunities but you've got to earn those opportunities and I didn't feel he had done enough to warrant a run in the first team.". [19]

Doble went on trial at League Two newcomers Newport County in July 2013, [20] but turned down the offer of a month-to-month contract. [21]

International career

In 2006, he was called up to the Wales U17 squad going on to make three appearances. A year later he was promoted to the U19 squad yet again going on to make three appearances.

Doble was brought in as cover by caretaker manager Brian Flynn, after strikers Robert Earnshaw and Craig Bellamy pulled out through injury.
