Steven James Doris (born 9 August 1988) is a Scottish footballer, currently in his fourth spell with Arbroath. His previous clubs include St Johnstone, Montrose, Dundee and Stirling Albion. Although generally regarded as a midfielder, he can also play as a striker.
Doris made his league debut on 26 November 2005, as a late substitute for St Johnstone manager Owen Coyle in a 1–1 draw with Stranraer at McDiarmid Park. He joined Montrose on loan in October 2007, where he scored four goals in 25 league appearances. Doris played in five more league matches in a second loan spell with Montrose the following season before joining Arbroath on loan in November 2008. He made six league appearances for the club, scoring twice, before returning to St Johnstone, who released him at the end of his contract. He returned to Arbroath on a free transfer in June 2009, and scored six league goals as the club were relegated to the Third Division at the end of the campaign after losing in the play-offs to Forfar Athletic. Under the management of former St Johnstone team-mate Paul Sheerin, Arbroath won promotion back to the Second Division as champions in April 2011. Doris' goal in the 4–1 win against Montrose, that secured the title for Arbroath, was his 16th of the season and he described the victory as "the best feeling of my life".
He signed a 12-month contract extension in June, which pleased Sheerin. "Steven was a great foil for Gavin Swankie last season," he said. "Keeping him at the club is massive for us. It's great news." On 1 December 2012, Doris grabbed a historic equaliser for Arbroath against Celtic in the 87th minute of a Scottish Cup tie at Celtic Park. He went on trial at Birmingham City in early 2013 and was rumoured to be signing at the end of the season, but was also linked with Partick Thistle.
