Early life

Doody began playing youth soccer with Sand and Surf SC, before later joining the LA Galaxy Academy. He departed the Galaxy Academy when he was in his freshman year of high school, as he wanted to experience playing high school soccer at Loyola High School, which he was not allowed to do as part of the academy, and helped them reach the Southern Section Division 1 semi-finals in the 2019-20 season. He also joined Beach FC at club level, helping them win the U.S. Club Soccer ENPL National Championship at U17 level in 2019.

College career

In 2020, Doody began attending UCLA, where he played for the men's soccer team. On February 8, 2021, he made his collegiate debut in a match against the San Francisco Dons. He scored his first collegiate goal on February 27 against the Oregon State Beavers. On April 17, 2021, he scored a brace in a 4-3 victory over the California Golden Bears. Over his four years at UCLA, he was named to the UCLA Director’s Honor Roll six times.

Club career

In 2021, Doody played with Fort Wayne FC in USL League Two. In 2022, he played with Capital FC.

Doody was drafted by CF Montréal in the first round (10th overall) in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft. In March 2024, he signed a one-year contract with the club, with options from 2025 through 2027. In July 2024, he was loaned to the Las Vegas Lights of the USL Championship for the remainder of the 2024 season.
