Club career

Queen of the South

A defender, Doig signed school boy terms with local club Queen of the South as a youngster. Also at Queens as a school boy at the same time was Colin McMenamin. Graduating from Queens youth program Doig played four league games for the Dumfries side.

Nottingham Forest

In 1997, like Neil Martin before him, who played for Queen of the South, he also joined Nottingham Forest. At Forest, Doig played 77 games scoring one goal. He enjoyed a successful spell on loan in 2003 at Northampton Town. This was remembered by Northampton and in 2005 Doig moved South to join them.

Northampton Town

Doig was retained as club captain by Stuart Gray when he took charge on 2 January 2007, due to Scott McGleish, former club captain, being transfer listed. Shortly before the match against Huddersfield Town in April 2007, Doig came third in the clubs player of the year awards, behind Jason Crowe and Mark Bunn. Doig has penned a two year contract that expired in 2009. He was released at the end of the 2008–09 season.

Central Coast Mariners

On June 23, 2009 he signed a two-year deal with the Central Coast Mariners.^[2]

Pelita Jaya

Doig left the Mariners after no regular game time in the 2010-2011 season. He has since signed with Indonesian side Pelita Jaya.^[3]
