Doig added "We got to the play-off places in League Two early in the season, then an offer came in for Paul to go to Shrewsbury, he went and I was included as part of the deal, and that's the way it's kind of gone. You'd need to ask Paul, but I think he knows I'm loyal and I'm honest, and I think he appreciates that. "When we've moved, it's not really been a decision for me to make, it's been made for me. When I left Grimsby, it was Paul that phoned me and said 'a deal's been done, we're both leaving. When we both left Shrewsbury, Paul phoned me again, 'deal's done, we're both going'. Nothing for me to decide really, I was included in things without having any real say as such."
On 30 May 2018, Doig joined Paul Hurst as assistant manager at Ipswich Town. However, Doig the pair on 25 October 2018 after achieving one win in the opening 14 games of the 2018/19 season.[https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town/paul-hurst-sacked-as-ipswich-town-manager-1-5752422 "Paul Hurst sacked as Ipswich Town manager – with Lambert set to take over"] Ipswich Star. 25 October 2018.
