With Boca Juniors he won the Intercontinental Cup 2003, the Copa Libertadores de América 2003, and the Copa Sudamericana 2005 . At the match for the Intercontinental Cup, Donnet scored the equalizer that took the match to penalty shootout, won by Boca 3-1, and was named Man of the Match.

In 2006 he signed with D.C. United of Major League Soccer in the USA. He scored his first and only goal in the MLS on September 26, 2006 against New York Red Bulls.
