Across three appearances, Doherty's tackle numbers stand out as the defining feature of his game, averaging over seven tackles per match with a single-game peak of ten — a volume that points to an industrious, defence-first centre. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliably in the mid-field without dominating ball-in-hand. The consistency of his numbers across both cup and league suggests a player who fulfils a clear, disciplined role week to week.
