Ross Doohan, a Scotland native, was born on March 29, 1998 - making him now 27 years of age. This 6ft 1in (1.86m) goalkeeper, weighing 11st 11lb (75kg), currently plies his trade at Aberdeen. He can be easily recognised on the pitch with the number 31 jersey on his back. Transfermarkt values him around £210k, as per current market rates, and his contract at Aberdeen is set to run its course by May 31, 2025.
Doohan's career kicked off at Celtic - where our story takes a deeper turn. During his tenure, we saw him loaned out to various clubs between 2017 and 2022, beginning with Greenock Morton in August 2017, and followed by spells at Ayr United, Ross County, Dundee United, and two separate stints at Tranmere Rovers. He made a total of 57 league appearances in these loan spells.
At Ross County, in the 2020-2021 season, Doohan managed to break into the first team, making five appearances in league matches. Similarly, while at Dundee United that same season, he made two more league appearances before returning to Celtic.
Perhaps his most successful loan spell was at Tranmere Rovers during the 2022-2023 season where he racked up an impressive 25 first team appearances in league matches. Upon his return to Celtic, he was subsequently transferred back to the same club, this time on a permanent basis.
After the completion of his spell at Tranmere Rovers, where he made yet another 25 first team appearances in league matches, we saw Doohan being transferred to Forest Green Rovers in the National League in January 2023. He didn't stay for too long, making just ten appearances before his transfer to Aberdeen in July 2023.
His time at Aberdeen hasn't been the most fruitful in terms of appearances. With only one league outing in the 2023-2024 season and 15 in the current 2024-2025 season, Doohan has had little opportunity to prove his worth. Notably, he has also donned the gloves for Aberdeen in the League Cup and the Scottish Cup, making one and two starts respectively.
Throughout these movements, Doohan has consistently shown resilience and adaptability, further strengthening his position as a reliable goalkeeper. His journey is a testament not just to his perseverance, but to the continually changing landscape of football.
