Sean Doherty (born 10 February 1985, in Basingstoke) is an English footballer who plays as a left midfielder for Sligo Rovers.
Doherty started his career at Everton's youth academy before controversially moving to Fulham which was reported in press that the transfer was £600,000. The fall out from this transfer saw his father leave the Everton academy coaching staff. After failing to make the breakthrough to the Fulham first-team squad, he joined Dutch Eredivisie club ADO Den Haag on a free transfer.
In January 2006 Doherty returned to England with Port Vale on a short-term contract but failed to impress and was allowed to leave at the end of the 2005/2006 season.
Doherty signed for Accrington Stanley in May 2006, but was released a year later.
He signed for Southport F.C from Accrington on a 3 month loan deal but failed to impress only making 7 appearances in 3 months.
Doherty signed a 1 year deal at Royal Antwerp.
On the 18 January 2008, Sean Doherty was unveiled as a Sligo Rovers player, a team that plays in the Eircom League of Ireland Premier Division.
He has been capped 7 times by England at youth level.
