Docherty signed for First Division club Fulham in September 1949,[3] but he never represented them in the league, and returned to his native north-east of England and signed for Darlington a year later.[1] Standing in for regular outside leftGordon Galley, Docherty scored on his senior debut, on 7 October 1950 in a 1–1 draw at home to Tranmere Rovers in the Third Division North. He kept his place for the next match, and made his third and final appearance in February 1951.[4]

Joining Fulham: two Hebburn-on-Tyne lads, Peter Docherty, outside right or left, and Walter Montgomery, full back. Both are twenty. Both are said to be discoveries. If you can't buy 'em, grow our own, is the policy these days.
