M. Doherty is a 34-year-old full-back at Wolves, rated 16.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 415th of 418 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Doherty.
Judged on this season alone, Doherty graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 64th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 1 clean sheet and 3.3 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 63rd of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 34 Doherty is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Doherty missed 6 games through injury (knee, inactive, wrist) out of roughly 38 this season. The 11 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 16.5, Doherty carries the 63rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 64 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~33), then tapers with age. At 34, Doherty sits on 9.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Doherty's projected Rating — 16.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
