Francis Forkey Doe (born 25 December 1985) is a Liberian footballer who is currently playing for Selangor FA in the Malaysia Super League.
Doe is very good with his team mate and even his local manager. Doe began his career in the Cameroon Première Division in 2002, playing for Tonnerre Yaoundé. Doe was voted best foreign player and third best overall player (as voted on by the Cameroon Football Federation and the Cameroon Sports Writers Association), and in doing so became the second Liberian player to win the Cameroonian First Division foreign player of the year award, the first being former world footballer of the year George Weah who received the award more than a decade ago. That same year Doe led the club to the CAF Cup final, netting six goals in eight CAF Cup matches.
In summer 2003, Doe moved back to Ghanaian side Buduburam FC. He then moved again in 2004 and signed a contract with USL First Division side Minnesota Thunder. His contract with Minnesota included an opt out clause which Doe utilised when he started receiving interest from European clubs. Having drawn interest from many clubs including Walsall FC in England, as well as Boca Juniors in Argentina, Doe agreed to a two-year deal with Greek club Atromitos and was regularly transferred from Buduburam FC, with whom he tallied six goals in twenty league matches in his first season at the club.
In March 2007, Doe and Atromitos mutually agreed to end the contract between them. Doe later had a brief spell in the Major League Soccer on trial with FC Dallas, who were unable to secure his services due to league restrictions on the number of foreign players in one club. He then went on another trial with New York Red Bulls, eventually securing a contract with the club. On 22 September 2007, in his second start for the Red Bulls, Doe scored his first MLS goal and made an assist in a 2–2 draw versus the New England Revolution. Doe was a key contributor for the club after his late season acquisition. In 8 league matches, 4 of them coming from the bench, Doe managed to record two goals and one assist, and helped the club qualify for the MLS playoffs. Doe started the clubs first playoff game against the New England Revolution, logging 68 minutes in a scoreless affair. He was unable to participate in the second leg due to injury. He was waived by the team on 21 February 2008.
