Club career
Born in Hanover, Doski grew up in the district of Vahrenheide.[3] He played youth football with Arminia Hannover and Germania Egestorf/Langreder.[3] Having established himself at Landesliga club Heeßeler SV he earned a move to MTV Eintracht Celle of the fifth-tier Oberliga.[3]
In July 2020, after trialling at the club, Doski signed with Austrian side Wacker Innsbruck.[3] He scored his first goal for the club's first team in November, in a 3–2 win against SV Horn in the Austrian 2.

In May 2022 he terminated his contract at Wacker Innsbruck after the club had failed to pay the salaries of players.[6]
After starring in the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup in Uzbekistan, he went on trial at FC Slovacko and later earned the move to the Czech Cup winners, where he established himself as a first team regular.

He made his debut against Vietnam and went on to play against Saudi Arabia and Thailand too.
He played in both warm-up matches against Iran before being selected for the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup in Uzbekistan. He was one of the standing out players of Iraq during the tournament, scoring in the penalty shoot-out against Uzbekistan.
On 25 August 2022, Doski was called up for the first time to the first team to play in the 2022 Jordan International Tournament.
