Born in Scotland on 29 March 1998, 27-year-old Ross Doohan currently plays as a goalkeeper for Aberdeen. Standing at 6ft 1in (1.86m) and weighing in at a trim 11st 11lb (75kg), he has an impressive physical presence between the sticks. Doohan sports the number 31 jersey, a badge of honour in the professional game. Transfermarkt has his current market value pegged at a modest £200k, with his contract due to expire at the end of May 2025.
Doohan has experienced a career marked by several transfers in the Scottish and English leagues, but his formative years were spent at Celtic. In August 2017, he departed on loan for Greenock Morton, where he had a season to familiarise himself with professional football. A year later, he moved to Ayr United on a similar arrangement.
His two-season stint at Celtic was once again disrupted in the 2020-2021 season, this time by a move to Ross County. His time there included five first team appearances. This pattern of loans and returns to Celtic continued, involving stints at Dundee United, where he made two first team appearances, and England's Tranmere Rovers, ringing up 25 first team matches. Ultimately, after a return to his childhood club Celtic, he was transferred out to Tranmere Rovers yet again, this time on a permanent deal.
In a surprising series of events, Doohan was later transferred to Forest Green Rovers in England’s National League after making another 25 first team league appearances at Tranmere. His time at Forest Green saw him making a further ten appearances. In July 2023, he made a switch back to Scotland, signing for Aberdeen in a deal of an undisclosed value.
Doohan's first season at Aberdeen saw him make a single appearance, but his persistence has borne fruit in the current season, where he has so far made fifteen first team appearances. He's also been an active participant in the club's cup campaigns, including starts in both the League Cup and the Scottish Cup.
Throughout his career, the ever-mobile Doohan has shown determination in seizing game time wherever he has landed, and continues to be a notable presence in goal for his club.
