Ross Docherty

Ross Docherty of Ross County was born in Paisley, Scotland on 23 January 1993 (age 33).

Ross Docherty, born on 23 January 1993 (age 33), is a Scottish central defensive midfielder with Ross County. His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came with Dundee United in 2023-24, when he scored three goals in 20 appearances. That is not a headline-grabbing return, but for a holding midfielder it points to a player who can offer the odd contribution beyond the usual screening and tidying.

At Ross County in 2026-27, Docherty has made 12 appearances across all competitions, including five in League One, six in the League Cup and one in the Scottish Cup. His career profile is that of a steady Scottish professional: central, practical, and more about structure than spectacle.
