David Doherty (born 28 January 1987 in Leeds, Yorkshire, England) is a rugby union player for the Leeds Carnegie in the RFU Championship. Doherty plays at fullback or on the wing and he can also operate in the centre's.

He joined Wasps after Leeds Tykes were relegated from the 2005-06 Guinness Premiership. He is a former rugby league junior with the Leeds Rhinos, but decided to pursue a career in the 15 a-side code.[1]

In May 2008, it was announced that Doherty would be joining Sale Sharks on a two-year contract.[2] His contract was not renewed by Sale and in June 2010 he was released. In October 2010, it was announced that he had signed for National League Two South team Jersey.[3] Doherty made the perfect start to his Jersey career, scoring a try on his debut.[4]

On 21 April 2011, it was announced that Doherty would be joining RFU Championship side the Cornish Pirates at the end of the 2010-11 RFU Championship. He finished the season as top try scorer for the Pirates with 14 in 24 Championship appearances and in 2012–13 will play for Yorkshire Carnegie.[5]
