Life
[edit]He was born in Monrovia. He was born Murphy Dorley, but one of his coaches started calling him Oscar because his physique and playing style reminded him of Brazilian footballer Oscar. The name Oscar then became known throughout his native country and became part of his name.[2]

On 11 August 2019, Dorley signed for Slavia Prague on a four-year contract from Slovan Liberec, with the midfielder staying on loan at Slovan Liberec until the end of 2019.[6]
