Club career Youth career Born in Derry, Koné-Doherty first started playing football for local side Foyle Harps, joining at the age of six.
Derry City He joined Derry City at the age of thirteen, and went on to train with the first team squad, being involved in pre-season friendlies and earning himself a spot on the bench for a League of Ireland Premier Division game against St Patrick's Athletic at the age of fifteen. Despite not making his debut for Derry City, he began to attract attention from Scottish club Celtic and English club Liverpool, having gone on trial with the former in 2020.
Liverpool In July 2022, he signed for Liverpool in a deal worth a reported £150,000. His career in Merseyside got off to a blistering start, scoring nine goals in his first 10 appearances for Liverpool's youth teams. In August 2023, he scored on his Premier League 2 debut for Liverpool under-21s. Koné-Doherty signed his first professional contract with the club on 31 October 2023. He was named in Liverpool's first team squad for the first time when he was named on the bench against PSV Eindhoven on 29 January 2025 and on 9 February, he made his first team competitive debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Trey Nyoni in a 1–0 FA Cup fourth round loss away to Plymouth Argyle.
Molde On 27 February 2026, Kone-Doherty signed for Norwegian Eliteserien club Molde on a four-year deal. He made his debut for the club on 5 March 2026, coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 NM Cup defeat to Bodø/Glimt. In April 2026, he stated that "It wasn't an easy decision to take" to leave Liverpool, that he left as he wanted regular first team minutes and that fellow Derry man James McClean offers him support and advice on his career.
