Scott Mark Doe (born 6 November 1988) is an English footballer who plays for Dagenham & Redbridge as a defender, either in the centre or on the right, although he is yet to play for the team. He started his career with Swindon Town as a youth player before joining Conference National club Weymouth. In February 2009, he left Weymouth due to financial problems at the club and registered with Kettering Town to allow him to join Dagenham & Redbridge on loan until the end of the 2008–09 season. He was refused to join Dagenham on a permanent basis by The Football Association as the move was outside the transfer window. Doe has also represented the England C team, making one appearance against Malta under-21s.

Early career

As a youth player, Doe played as a forward for AFC Newbury and Newbury and District Schools alongside Theo Walcott, before the duo signed for Swindon Town. They played together for four years. He said in one season, that his partnership with Walcott consisted of them scoring about 150 goals. During a tournament in Cardiff, Doe was converted into a centre back. Doe was with Swindon Town from the age of 10, until he was deemed surplus to requirements by manager Paul Sturrock, and he left in July 2007.

Club career

Weymouth

Doe joined Conference National club Weymouth on 1 July 2007, along with Swindon Town youth team-mate Jonathan Stewart, signing a one-year contract. His debut for Weymouth was in the 3–0 home win during a pre-season friendly against League Two side Bournemouth on 17 July. He made his competitive debut for his new club on 15 September in the 3–1 away win at Droylsden, replacing Conal Platt as a substitute in the 65th minute. Doe's first start for Weymouth start was against Torquay United on 25 September, in their 3–2 away defeat. His first goal for the club was on 26 January 2008, away against Rushden & Diamonds in Weymouth's 3–2 defeat. Paolo Vernazza took a free-kick in the 25th minute after Stuart Beavon was fouled just outside the penalty area by Curtis Osano. Doe scored with a header, which took a slight deflection as the ball crossed the goal line. During Weymouth's 2–1 away defeat on 1 March to Halifax Town, Doe was controversially sent off three minutes into stoppage time. He was sent off for a tackle on Andy Campbell, but manager John Hollins claimed "there is no doubt that Scott got the ball". Weymouth finished the season in 18th position, defying relegation, with Doe ending the 2007–08 season having made 33 appearances in the Conference, scoring once. Doe won the "Supporters Player of The Year" award, describing it as "the best thing in the World". He admitted he did not expect to play more than 15 games during the season, "when I first came to the club I thought I might play 15 games throughout the whole season but I have ended up playing over twice that and it has just been fantastic" stated Doe.

Along with Anton Robinson, Marcus Browning, and Stuart Beavon, Doe signed a new contract with Weymouth in May 2008. His only goal for Weymouth in the 2008–09 season was against Forest Green Rovers on 25 August, he equalised to make the score 1–1 in the 71st minute, scoring a tap-in following a cross from Ryan Williams. In September, Doe was transfer listed, alongside James Coutts, Danny Knowles, Josh Webb and Michael Malcolm to generate money and bring in new players. He responded to being transfer listed, by saying "I do not see it as a big deal. It's not like the club has said to me we are putting you on the transfer list because we do not want you anymore", and suggested it could benefit both parties if a bigger club were willing to "pay a bit of money". On 4 October, Doe was sent off in Weymouth's 3–2 home win over Eastbourne Borough, after he committed a foul on Andy Atkin in the penalty area resulting in a penalty kick, which was later saved. Southern League Premier Division club Farnborough approached Doe on 30 December. He turned the offer down saying; "moving to Farnborough would mean stepping down two levels which is not what I want to do". His last game for Weymouth was against Stevenage Borough on 14 February, in the 3–0 home defeat.

Dagenham & Redbridge

Doe signed for League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on a two-and-a-half-year contract in February 2009, initially on loan. He was also offered a contract at League One club Peterborough United. Financial troubles at Weymouth resulted in a number of first-team players not being paid. Due to the situation at Weymouth, The Football Association gave him special dispensation to move anywhere, however the the Football League refused to allow him to join Dagenham as it was outside the transfer window. Subsequently, Doe registered for another Conference National team, Kettering Town and joined Dagenham & Redbridge on an emergency loan until the end of the 2008–09 season.

International career

Doe was called up to the England C squad in February 2009, by manager Paul Fairclough, to face the Malta under-21 team. He came on as a second half substitute in the 4–0 victory at Hibernians Football Ground, Paola, on 17 February.

Style of play

Doe is able to play as a centre back or full back and is a "strong player" with good positional sense.
