Career

Docherty was a youth player at Hillwood Swifts Boys Club, before joining Livingston at youth level in 2010.[1] A member of the Under-19 team,[2] Docherty made his first-team debut from the start on 7 May 2011, in Livingston's 3–1 win against Alloa Athletic in the Scottish Second Division.[3] His next appearance was in the following season on 23 July 2011, as a substitute in Livingston's 5–0 win against Airdrie United in the Challenge Cup.[4] He was released in May 2014.[5]

On 22 November 2014, Docherty played as a trialist for Airdrieonians in a 1–0 defeat against Stranraer.[6] He then signed for the club permanently in December 2014.[7]

Docherty left The Diamonds in June 2015, signing for Scottish League One rivals Ayr United.[8] He scored his first goal for the club on 11 May 2016, in a 1–1 draw against Stranraer in the first leg of the Scottish Championship play off final; the ball dropped at the edge of the box and he rifled it into the bottom corner earning Ayr a draw in the 94th minute.[9] Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Docherty signed a new contract with Ayr and was named club captain.[10]
