Doherty joined the Glen senior team in 2019, and the club reached the county final for the first time.[5] On 20 October, Doherty was at wing back for the final against Magherafelt. Magherafelt won the match by 0–12 to 0–11.[6]

Glen won the match by 1–12 to 1–6, with Doherty scoring a point.[12] Doherty scored two points in the All-Ireland semi-final win over Moycullen as Glen reached the All-Ireland final.[13] The final against Kilmacud Crokes took place on 23 January 2023. Kilmacud won the match by 1–11 to 1–9.[14] Doherty was later named on the team of the club championship for his performances during the season.[15]

Glen faced Magherafelt in 2023 for their third Derry final in a row. A strong second half from Glen helped them to their third successive championship.[16] Glen went on to contest their second Ulster final, this time against Scotstown. Doherty scored a point as Glen defended their Ulster title.[17] Glen faced Kilmacud Crokes in the All-Ireland semi-final in a rematch of the previous year's final. Doherty scored a late goal as Glen won by a point to reach their second All-Ireland final.[18] In the All-Ireland final against St Brigid's on 21 January 2024, Doherty scored a point, with Glen staging a late comeback to win the All-Ireland title for the first time.[19]
