Ben Doak was born on the 11th of November, 2005, making him 19 years of age. This youthful footballer was birthed in the heart of Scotland and is known primarily as a forward, filling the role of a right winger for Middlesbrough with tenacity and skill. In terms of stature, Doak stands at 5ft 9in (1.76m) tall and carries a weight of 10st 3lb (65kg). Notably, when roaming the field, he sports the number 50 on his jersey, signifying his presence on the pitch. As a testament to his talent, he has also donned the jersey of the Scotland national team, representing his homeland proudly.
In July 2020, Doak embarked on a footballing journey with Celtic, a club in the Scottish Premiership. He joined as a trainee, fresh-faced and eager. The 2021 - 2022 season marked Doak's debut year at Celtic. Although he was only able to make two first team appearances in league matches during this season, it gave him invaluable exposure and experience.
In March 2022, Doak made the decision to part ways with Celtic. He transferred to Liverpool, a renowned club in the English Premier League, for a fee that would be considered a steal at the sum of £600k. Over the following two seasons (2022 - 2024) at Liverpool, he managed to make a total of three first team appearances in league matches. While this was not an abundant number, it's worth remembering he was a new addition to a strong squad.
As a turn of the script, Doak made his move from Liverpool to Middlesbrough, located in England's Championship division; this was orchestrated as a loan deal in August 2024. He seems to have found his stride in the current season (2024 - 2025) with his new club, impressively notching 21 first team appearances and netting two goals in league matches - a commendable feat considering the often-congested Championship schedule.
In addition to his club duties, Doak has been earning his international stripes. He participated prominently in the Nations League of 2024 - 2025 for Scotland, where he made four starts and was utilised as a substitute on two occasions. This participation only serves to reinforce his ever-growing reputation as an emerging star.
