Josh Doig emphasizes that moving from Verona to Sassuolo was an easy decision and joining Serie A has been the highlight of his career so far. The 21-year-old Scottish player rose through the ranks of Hearts and Hibernian before transferring to Verona in the summer of 2022 for €3.6m.
His standout performances drew interest from Olympique Marseille, but Sassuolo ultimately secured him for €6m, a move he eagerly welcomed. Doig expressed his excitement, highlighting the warm reception he has received both within and outside the football community at Sassuolo.
Transitioning from Verona to Sassuolo, Doig acknowledges the challenges of being involved in the Serie A relegation battle but remains optimistic about the team’s prospects. He embraces the opportunity to contribute to their success and is eager to make an impact on the field.
The shift from Scotland to Italy has been transformative for Doig, who views it as the best decision of his life. Despite facing highs and lows along the way, he recognizes the significance of playing in Italy’s top league, a dream shared by his football-loving father. Doig credits his time in Italy for sharpening his defensive skills and appreciates the meticulous attention to detail prevalent in Italian football.
Doig also highlights the success of fellow Scottish players in Italy, including his friend Lewis Ferguson, who plays for Bologna, emphasizing the camaraderie both on and off the field.
