Chris Doig

Christopher Ross Doig (born 13 February 1981) is a Scottish former professional footballer who became a coach when he retired as a player.

After spells abroad with Central Coast Mariners in Australia and Pelita Jaya in Indonesia, he returned to England with Aldershot Town in 2011.

He then moved to York City, with whom he won promotion to League Two after playing in the 2012 Conference Premier play-off final.

[3] On 26 June 1997, Doig joined Nottingham Forest in the club's youth system, going on to sign a professional contract on 7 March 1998.

Shortly before the match against Huddersfield Town in April 2007, Doig came third in the club's Player of the Year awards, behind Jason Crowe and Mark Bunn.

However, his second season at Central Coast Mariners was struggling moment for Doig, as he had no regular game time, due to competitions.

[24] He made his debut in York's 1–0 victory at home to Ebbsfleet United in the FA Trophy third round on 14 February.

[27] He then played in York's first Football League fixture since their promotion, a 3–1 defeat at home to Wycombe Wanderers on 18 August 2012.

[29] Doig signed for Conference Premier side Grimsby Town a one-year contract on 1 August 2013 as a player-coach, following a trial with the club.

[34] Doig played for Scotland at schoolboy level before representing the under-18 team, making his debut as captain in a 3–0 defeat to France on 25 October 1999.

[35] Doig made his under-21 debut less than a year later, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Andrew Jordan in a 2–0 defeat to the Netherlands on 25 April 2000.

[41] Doig added "We got to the play-off places in League Two early in the season, then an offer came in for Paul to go to Shrewsbury, he went and I was included as part of the deal, and that's the way it's kind of gone.

[42] In May 2019 Doig followed Hurst once more to Scunthorpe United, but the pair were dismissed on 30 January 2020 with the club struggling in EFL League Two.

[43] On 30 December 2020, Hurst and Doig returned to Grimsby, signing 18 month contracts and replacing Ian Holloway who had resigned seven days earlier.
