A backline player, Doran spent his career with Glebe-Balmain, Manly and North Sydney. He gained a place in the New South Wales team for a 1925 tour of New Zealand, which was effectively a full international squad as this was Australia's only representative side at the time. Selected as a back up fly–half for Tom Lawton, Doran got his only opportunities on tour as a stand in centre, appearing in four non international fixtures.[2]
Doran's father was a renowned yachtsman and he was himself an active sailor.[3]
