Kone-Doherty arrived at the Liverpool Academy during the summer of 2022 and featured regularly at U18, U19 and most recently, U21 level.
The winger made two senior appearances, both as a substitute. He made his debut away to Plymouth Argyle in a shock FA Cup defeat in February 2025, while he also featured as Liverpool bowed out of the League Cup at the hands of Crystal Palace at Anfield last October.
