Club career[edit]

Adelaide United[edit]

In August 2016, O'Doherty signed a two-year senior contract with Adelaide United after playing for their youth team.[2] He made his A-League debut against Newcastle Jets in a 1–1 draw. Three weeks later he made his starting debut against Melbourne City in a 2–1 loss. In Round 18 against Central Coast Mariners, O'Doherty scored his first goal for Adelaide United.[3] In May 2018, O'Doherty was released by Adelaide United.[4]

Western Sydney Wanderers[edit]

In June 2018, O'Doherty signed a three-year contract with Western Sydney Wanderers.[5]

At the time, O'Doherty was quoted as saying: "Coming to the Wanderers is a good opportunity for me to be somewhere for three years and really try to do the best I can in the Hyundai A-League. I want to play in as many games as possible for the club and ultimately, I want to win trophies with the team."

"To be honest, I've always enjoyed watching the Wanderers members and fans more than any other in the league. They've brought a lot of excitement to the league and they're the best in the league, so I'm looking forward to playing in front of them."[6]

O'Doherty made his A-League debut for Western Sydney Wanderers on 27 October 2018. He came on as a substitute on 60 minutes in a Sydney Derby match away at Sydney FC.[7] O'Doherty started the next game, against Wellington Phoenix, scoring his first goal for the Wanderers on 90+2 minutes.[8]

O'Doherty went on to make 17 appearances (16 starts) in the 2018–19 A-League season[9] before his season was cut short when he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury while playing against Perth Glory on 24 February 2019.[10] O'Doherty was sidelined for the rest of the 2018–19 season, only returning to play for the Wanderers 362 days later, on 21 February 2020 in a game against Adelaide United.[11] During the remainder of the 2019–20 A-League season he made ten appearances (seven starts).[12] He scored his second goal for the Wanderers in the final match of the season, a 2–1 win over Melbourne Victory on 12 August 2020.[13]

In May 2021, O'Doherty departed Western Sydney Wanderers.[14]

East Bengal[edit]

In August 2022, O'Doherty moved abroad for the first time in his career and signed for Indian Super League club East Bengal on a one year deal.[15]

He made his Indian Super League debut against Kerala Blasters coming on as a late substitute in a 3-1 away defeat.[16]
