Bio Extra

Plays as a winger or as an attacking midfielder. McDonald was born in London, and joined Fulham's academy from Crystal Palace as a 12-year-old. Through an arrangement with the club, he attended Coombe Boys' School in New Malden, Surrey. He was a member of the England under-16 training squad ahead of the 2012 Victory Shield, but a serious knee injury prevented his participation and kept him out until the following summer, when he took up a scholarship with Fulham. Their academy director described him as "a central midfield player who always looks to break the play up and get us moving forward and who can chip in with a goal or two as well." At the age of 16, McDonald signed his first senior contract with Birmingham City. He spent a month on loan at National League South club Nuneaton Town in 2016, and a month at Solihull Moors of the National League in 2018, but never appeared for Birmingham's first team, his appearances being largely confined to the Under 23s. He was released at the end of the 2017–18 season. He spent the first half of the following season with League Two club Yeovil Town, joined another League Two club, Walsall, in July 2019, and spent the 2021–22 season with Morecambe of League One. After one season with Hartlepool United of League Two, McDonald signed for Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle in August 2023. He arrived at Firhill with 135 League appearances and 10 goals in his career to date.
