Early life
Born in Mayo to Dublin parents, Doris attended boarding school from the age of 12 onwards at Blackrock College in Dublin, where he was a member of the victorious Leinster Schools Rugby Senior Cup team in 2014 as well as captaining the 2016 side.
Leinster
After leaving school in 2016, Doris spent a year in the Leinster Rugby sub-academy before entering the academy in summer 2017.
