Aodhan Doherty

Aodhan Doherty of Falkirk was born in Belfast, N. Ireland on 3 May 2006 (age 20).

Aodhan Doherty, born on 3 May 2006 (age 20), is a Northern Irish left winger now with Falkirk, where he wears squad number 47.

His senior career has been shaped mainly by Linfield. In the 2023-24 season he made nine league appearances for the Belfast club, the spell that remains the main point of reference in his early career.

Doherty has since moved on to Falkirk. In 2026-27 he has made two league appearances and one League Cup appearance, giving him three first-team outings for the club so far.

At this stage, his career is still a compact one: a Linfield grounding, followed by the early steps of a Falkirk spell as he tries to establish himself at senior level.
