He started his professional career at Chester City, but whilst at the club he was sent to prison for four months following an incident outside a nightclub in Warrington, this meant he missed Chester City's last game in the Football League before they were relegated. In 2001 he joined Rochdale where he spent three seasons before moving on to play for Halifax Town and Altrincham respectively. In 2010 he moved to Witton Albion before joining Hyde in March 2011. He later returned to Altrincham, before playing for Warrington Town and Trafford.
Born in Warrington, he signed professional terms with Chester City at the age of 16. He played regularly in 1999–2000 and 2000–01. This period saw the him and the club relegated from the Football League, with Doughty missing the decisive final game of the 1999–2000 season after being sent to prison for four months the day before, following an incident outside a nightclub in his home town of Warrington. After his release from prison, he regained his place in the Chester side throughout the 2000–01 season.
