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]
Ayr United[]
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]
Partick Thistle[]
In December 2019 it was announced in the press that Docherty had signed a pre-contract agreement to join former Ayr United manager Ian McCall at Partick Thistle for the start of the 2020/21 season, signing a two year deal.[11] In June 2020, following Thistle’s relegation to Scottish League One, after the season was called early due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Docherty was officially announced as a Partick Thistle player.[12] Docherty scored his first goal for Thistle scoring the second in a 2-0 away win in League One over Forfar Athletic.[13] After winning League One with Thistle, Docherty signed a new contract adding an extra year to his deal, extending it until 2023.[14] Docherty scored his first goal of the 2021–22 season for Thistle, scoring a header from a corner in a 3-0 away win against Dunfermline.[15]
