Aodhan Doherty

Aodhan Doherty of Falkirk was born in Belfast, N. Ireland on 3 May 2006 (age 20).

Aodhan Doherty, born on 3 May 2006 (age 20), is a Northern Irish left winger now with Falkirk. His senior career has so far been shaped mainly by Linfield, where he made his clearest early mark.

The 2023-24 season at Linfield brought nine league appearances, the main body of his first-team football to date. For a young wide player, that spell remains the obvious reference point in a career still at an early stage.

At Falkirk in 2026-27, Doherty has made three league appearances and one League Cup outing, giving him four appearances in all for the club. His career to date is straightforward: early senior minutes at Linfield, followed by a move into the Falkirk squad.
