Capped by Ireland Schools, Doherty was called up to an Ireland U19 squad for a training camp in Spain in March. He previously spent time training at Playford Road when a schoolboy.
Mick McCarthy, Terry Connor and the rest of the staff are obviously working the players hard during their week in Ireland with midfielder Luke Hyam tweeting: "Day 4: legs falling off.”
