Sean Doherty

Doherty started his career at Everton's youth academy before moving to Fulham in July 2001 for an undisclosed fee. After a loan spell with Blackpool, he signed a one-year contract with the club, which was extended until 2005. However, he failed to make the breakthrough to the Fulham first-team squad, having failed to play a single game he was released in May 2005. He went on to join Dutch Eredivisie club ADO Den Haag. In January 2006, Doherty returned to England with Martin Foyle's Port Vale on a short-term contract, but failed to gain a first-team spot and was allowed to leave at the end of the 2005–06 season. Doherty signed for Accrington Stanley shortly thereafter, but only played twenty league games and scored once (against Grimsby Town), before he was released a year later. Although he had played for Southport on a three-month loan deal from November 2006 to January 2007, he failed to impress, only making seven appearances in three months. In 2007, Doherty left England to sign a one-year deal at Belgian club Royal Antwerp. In January 2008, Doherty signed for Irish club Sligo Rovers. Nevertheless, after finding regular football, Doherty left Rovers on mutual agreement in July 2009. He quickly moved to Witton Albion and made one start and one substitute appearance during the 2009–10 season. In February 2010, he signed for Marine of the Northern Premier League Premier Division. His club finished ninth in 2009–10 and eighth in 2010–11. In July 2011, he joined Conference…

Doherty was capped seven times by England at youth level. He represented the under 17s and under-21s. He managed to score for the under-17s in a 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Championship game against Finland.
