A Statement from Bill Darroch, Chairman of Stenhousemuir Football Club

Kyle Doherty

“I am extremely saddened to have to report that one of our Under 20s Team players, Kyle Doherty, has been found dead following a night out in Manchester.

“We are all devastated by this news and our immediate thoughts are with Kyle’s family and friends at this sad and difficult time.  Kyle was a talented footballer and had been a part of Stenhousemuir Football Club since signing for us in July 2013.  He had become a regular in our Under-20s Team and was starting to break through in to the First Team squad.  He was liked and valued by his team mates and coaches alike.  He will be missed by all who knew him.

“The entire Club is in shock at this most terrible of news and we offer our deepest condolences to Kyle’s family and friends.”
