Kevin Doherty Biography

Kevin Doherty is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Manager who was born on April 18, 1980 in Dublin, Dublin, Ireland. Kevin Doherty (born 18 April 1980) is an Irish association football coach and former professional player, who was the manager of League of Ireland First Division club Shelbourne from December 2014 until June 2016. As a player Doherty was a powerful centre back, who was named Football Association of Ireland (FAI) School’s International Player of the Year in

1998. He was transferred from Home Farm Everton to Liverpool FC in the same year and played for the Premier League club’s youth and reserve teams, as well as for the Republic of Ireland under-18 team. A broken femur suffered at the end of his first season with Liverpool was the first of several injuries which beset Doherty throughout his playing career.

In July 2001, Doherty returned to Irish football signing with Shelbourne, under his former Home Farm manager Dermot Keely. He had been released by Liverpool and chose Shelbourne over competing offers from English clubs Grimsby Town and Crewe Alexandra. Valuing the opportunity to play competitive first-team football, he hoped to learn from experienced teammates Tony McCarthy, Jim Gannon and Peter Hutton. Doherty remained with Shelbourne for four years making more than 70 appearances. During his time at Shelbourne the team won the league championship three times. Doherty’s early good form with Shelbourne saw him named League of Ireland Player of the Month in January 2002 and also earned him a call up to the national Under-21 team. But he missed the end of the 2001–02 season with a broken rib sustained in February 2002. He started Shelbourne’s qualifying round UEFA Champions League match against Hibernians FC of Malta in July 2002, only to re-injure his ribs and miss the second leg defeat.

Doherty was briefly dropped from the team at the beginning of the 2002–03 season, after a poor performance in a 3–0 defeat by Cork City and an on-field argument with Shelbourne’s new player-manager Pat Fenlon. He recovered to take his place in the Professional Footballers’ Association of Ireland (PFAI) Team of the Season. In the 2003 season it was reported that in-form Doherty had extended his contract with Shelbourne and had bought a new house in Dublin. Two separate calf injuries kept him out for three months in 2004, reducing his role in the squad and leaving him hoping for a “cameo” in Shelbourne’s European campaign. In December 2004 Doherty was transfer listed by the club, with one year of his contract remaining. He rejected an offer from Norwegian Tippeligaen club FK Lyn, while Bohemian and Drogheda United were dissuaded by Shelbourne’s demand for a €15,000 transfer fee.

Eventually, Doherty was loaned to Waterford United for the 2005 season, where he made 19 appearances. After a change in management, Waterford attempted to return Doherty to Shelbourne in mid-season. But Shelbourne disagreed and a tribunal ruled in their favour. On his return to Shelbourne in January 2006, he was released. Subsequently, he went on to play for Longford Town for two seasons, and then Bray Wanderers for another year. He played for Longford in their 1–0 2007 FAI Cup Final defeat by Cork City. In his last stint as a player, he returned to Shelbourne for the 2009 season, making 16 appearances. Doherty retired from playing in 2010 due to persistent health issues.

Doherty was born in Artane, Dublin. He attended Scoil Chiaráin, Donnycarney and St. Joseph’s Secondary C.B.S., Fairview. From the ages of 6-13, he played his football for the now-defunct St. Martin’s Boys Club, who played their home games in Donnycarney Park (known locally as “Maypark”). At the age of 14, he was approached to join Home Farm, one of the leading schoolboy clubs in the country. Doherty quickly found success by winning the All Ireland Cup in his first season. In 1998, Doherty won the FAI School’s International Player of the Year.

In January 2002, Don Givens called up Doherty to a training camp for the Republic of Ireland under-21 team at Bisham Abbey. He was hopeful of selection for the Toulon Tournament that May, but suffered a broken rib in February 2002.

Doherty’s play with Home Farm drew the attention of Liverpool FC. It was reported that Doherty’s performance in a trial match against Bury caused drooling amongst four of Liverpool’s coaches who were in attendance. Liverpool Head of Youth Steve Heighway flew to Dublin to complete the signing on a three-year contract. He went on to play three seasons with Liverpool. In a reserve team match against Wrexham in September 1998 Doherty was named coach Sammy Lee’s man of the match, despite Robbie Fowler scoring six goals. In May 1999, Doherty’s progress was derailed by a broken femur sustained while playing for Ireland Under-18s against PSV Eindhoven’s youth team. Though he recovered, his further career at Liverpool was hampered by the injury.

Doherty never played for Liverpool’s first team and was released on the expiry of his contract in 2001, joining League of Ireland club Shelbourne. Despite further injury problems, he became an important player for Shels; collecting three Premier Division winner’s medals and selection to the 2002–03 Professional Footballers’ Association of Ireland (PFAI) Team of the Season. After losing his place in the team during his fourth season at the club, Doherty was put on the transfer list ahead of the 2005 campaign. He joined Waterford United for 2005, then spent 2006 and 2007 with Longford Town and 2008 with Bray Wanderers. In 2009, he returned to Shelbourne, who had been demoted for financial reasons and were languishing in the First Division.
