Doherty happy to switch focus

Gary Doherty is determined to forget his Norwich blues by helping the Republic of Ireland take two steps towards their goal of reaching next summer’s World Cup finals.

After joining City for £1m (€1.5m) from Spurs last August, Doherty endured a miserable end to the season as he found himself cast aside by Canaries boss Nigel Worthington, playing just two minutes of first-team football in the final three months.
