Aodhan Doherty

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

Aodhan Doherty is a Northern Irish left winger, born on 3 May 2006 (age 20), who has been building his senior career between Linfield and Falkirk. His senior exposure at Linfield included nine league appearances in the 2023-24 season, a modest but useful starting point for a young wide player.
