Jason Doherty (born 21 November 1989) is a Gaelic footballer who plays for Burrishoole and, formerly, the Mayo county team.[1] He started at centre forward in the 2012 All-Ireland Final which Mayo lost by 0-13 to 2-11 against Donegal.[2][3][4]
He studied at NUI Galway and played for the university football team.[5][6]
On 12 August 2023, Doherty announced his retirement from inter-county football after 12 years.[7]
Mayo's Peadar Gardiner, Alan Dillon and Ronan Rochford inspired NUI Galway to an impressive victory in Ballinode.... Jason Doherty smacked another goal attempt off an upright, but managed to point the rebound. Paul Garvey's pointed free at the other end kept it tight, but Keating's red card a minute later cost IT Sligo dearly, with Fiacra Deasmhunhaigh and Doherty claiming goals inside the 10 minutes that followed.
The Mayo squad contains a large number of current and former students including Ger Cafferkey, Jason Doherty, Alan Dillon, Conor O'Shea, Shane McHale, Chris Barrett and Cathal Freeman. Former Inter-County star James Nallen, who is a selector with the Mayo side, is a Chief Technical Officer in NUI Galway's School of Physics.
