Owain DoullDoull turned professional in 2017 with Team Sky, where he had already interned in 2016. He stayed with the British team (which had been renamed INEOS Grenadiers) until 2021, but switched to EF Education-EasyPost in 2022. So far in his pro career, Doull has secured two victories: a stage at the Herald Sun Tour (2019) and a stage at the Tour de la Provence (2020). However, he has mostly played a support role.

Additionally, he has been a consistent presence for both INEOS and EF in the spring classics. His best result in a Monument is 29th place at the 2024 Tour of Flanders. Furthermore, the Brit was runner-up in the 2019 Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, finishing second in the sprint behind the solo winner Bob Jungels.
