Biography

Doran began his Gaelic football career winning five county titles at underage levels with the Kilmore club. After transferring to the nearby St. Anne's club in Rathangan in 1998, Doran transferred back with Kilmore in 2000 and won a Wexford Junior Championship medal in 2003.[1]

Having already played with the county minor and under-21 teams, Doran's Wexford senior football career spanned 14 years. After making his debut in the National Football League in October 1992, he went on to score 25-174 in 103 competitive appearances with Wexford until the end of the 2004 National League campaign when he opted out of the championship panel.[2]

Doran subsequently joined the Neasden Gaels club in North London and played for the London senior team in the 2005 Connacht Championship, but returned to the Wexford senior team in 2007 after a three-year absence, making a further five appearances before his eventual retirement.[3]

Doran died suddenly on 29 December 2018 at the age of 44.[4][5][6][7]

gollark: Companies don't really do accounting, or much internal division of labour or anything. Generally, they're just one person or maybe a smaller team sharing resources a bit.
gollark: Yes, I am sure you're thinking "but but but my company has a giant HQ and shiny adverts!" It's not really a company.
gollark: Stock exchanges allow you to trade shares in companies and get dividends. But we don't actually have companies.
