Est. Return 8/1/2026
Departs Wolves
Doherty will leave Wolves at the end of his contract this summer, bringing a close to a 13-year association with the club that has seen him make 389 appearances and cement his status as one of the most beloved figures in the club's modern history, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Doherty joined in 2010 as a teenager and developed into one of the Premier League's most dynamic right wing-backs under coach Nuno Espirito Santo, enjoying his finest individual season by scoring eight goals and providing 10 assists as Wolves reached an FA Cup semi-final and returned to European football for the first time in almost 40 years. After a spell at Tottenham and a loan at Atletico Madrid, Doherty returned to Molineux in 2023 and transitioned from wing-back to center-back in his later years at the club, serving as vice-captain and making 15 appearances this season to take his overall tally to 389, making him the club's 16th highest appearance maker of all time. Technical director Matt Jackson described him as a true club man who has been absolutely exceptional across his 13 years at the club, both on the pitch and as a leadership presence in the dressing room, with Doherty also earning more than 50 caps for the Republic of Ireland during his time at Wolves.
