Stephen Dooley

Club career Dooley began his career with Coleraine. He left in 2010 to play college soccer in the United States for the Loyola Greyhounds. He returned to Coleraine for a third spell in December 2017.

He signed for English club Rochdale in May 2018.

On 14 June 2022, it was announced that Dooley would move to fellow League Two club Harrogate Town on a two-year deal, at the end of his current contract with Rochdale. He spent nearly 12 months injured, before returning to play in October 2023. He signed a new one-year contract with the club in May 2024, with Dooley citing the club's "exciting" style of play as a factor in his decision.

On 8 May 2025, the club announced the player would be released in June when his contract expired.

International career Dooley represented Northern Ireland at under-17 and under-19 levels.
