Ross Docherty

Ross Docherty of Dundee United was born on 23 January 1993 (age 32).

Ross Docherty, born in Scotland on the 23rd of January 1993, presently stands at 32 years of age. This central defensive midfielder currently plays for Dundee United, primarily assuming the role in the midfield. Standing at 5ft 9in (1.76m) and weighing 11st 2lb (71kg), Docherty sports the number 23 jersey with pride.

The market value for Docherty currently sits around €200k. However, given the conversion rate, these numbers demonstrate a valuation closer to £170k, according to Transfermarkt. With only four months remaining on his contract, Docherty is set to part ways with Dundee United by the 31st of May, 2025.

Docherty's footballing journey began in July 2010 when he joined Livingston in the Championship in Scotland. His debut season was understandably quiet, with him making just one first team appearance. He gradually built upon his initial involvement, chipping in with 11, 10 and 8 appearances during the subsequent three seasons respectively.

The next chapter of his career saw him move to Airdrieonians in November 2014. Docherty made 22 first team appearances during this 2014-2015 season at Airdrieonians.

In July 2015, Docherty swapped the Airdrieonians kit for that of Ayr United, another Championship side in Scotland. Over the next three seasons, he racked up a total of 69 appearances which included two scored goals.

Docherty was on the move again in July 2020 as he transferred from Ayr United to Partick Thistle, where he would go on to make 26 appearances, netting one goal in the process during the 2022-2023 season.

In July 2023, he made another switch, this time to Dundee United in the Premiership. His most successful stint to date saw him score three goals while making 20 appearances during his debut 2023-2024 season. He then followed it with 13 appearances in the ongoing 2024-2025 season. Alongside his league contributions, Docherty has also turned out in the League Cup 2024-2025 for Dundee United, starting once and making one appearance as a substitute.

Clearly, Ross Docherty has demonstrated true dedication to the beautiful game, continuously moving upwards and delivering consistent performances, all while embodying the Celtic spirit.
