Ross Docherty, a Scottish born footballer on 23 January 1993, currently holds a significant position in Dundee United as a central defensive midfielder. A sturdy figure, Docherty is a towering 1.76m (5ft 9in) tall and weighs in at a healthy 71kg (11st 2lb). On the pitch, he is best recognised in his number 23 jersey.
Currently, Docherty's market value sits around £170k (Transfermarkt). His contract with Dundee United holds a remaining five-month term, expected to expire on 31 May 2025.
At the outset, Docherty began his career with Livingston in Scotland's Championship in July 2010. He was a newcomer in the football field; hence he made only one first-team appearance during the debut season (2010-2011). However, he gradually picked up pace and made more appearances, tallying to 11 and ten in 2011 - 2012 and 2012 - 2013 seasons respectively. In the subsequent season of 2013 - 2014, his first team league appearances diminished slightly to eight.
Following a time at Livingston, Docherty switched sides in May 2014. In November the same year, Docherty found himself in Airdrieonians, again in the Championship in Scotland. The 2014 - 2015 season saw him making 22 first team appearances in league matches at Airdrieonians.
Docherty continued to shift teams, transferring from Airdrieonians to another Championship in Scotland team, Ayr United, in July 2015. During the 2015 - 2016 seasons at Ayr United, Docherty enhanced his profile with 26 first team appearances. In the following season (2016 - 2017), he made 29 appearances and scored his first two goals in league matches. In the 2017 - 2018 season, his appearances were dropped to 14 league matches.
By July 2020, Docherty had made the next big move in his career by transferring from Ayr United to Partick Thistle. The 2022 - 2023 season at Partick Thistle preluded his future success, as Docherty made 26 first team appearances and scored one goal in league matches.
Docherty finally found himself at Dundee United in the Premiership in Scotland after a transfer from Partick Thistle in July 2023. In his first season (2023 - 2024) at Dundee United, Docherty hit a stride, making 20 first team appearances and successfully scoring three goals. In the current 2024 - 2025 season, he has made 11 first team appearances in league matches.
