In September 2012, Donnelly joined Aldershot on a short-term contract.[9] He made his debut on 29 September against York City.[10] This was quickly followed by a short time on loan at Southend United in order to try an earn a permanent transfer.[11] However this was unsuccessful and he then joined Farnborough of the Conference South in order to benefit from first team football and improve his fitness.[12]
