Career

Born in Rutherglen,[1] MacDonald played youth football for Motherwell, but was released by the club in May 2012.[2]

Having featured as a trialist against Queen's Park, Macdonald signed for Clyde on 22 October 2012.[3] After two years at Clyde, he signed for Hamilton Academical in June 2014.[4] He later spoke about his transfer, stating he was looking forward to the challenge of playing at a higher level.[5] In August 2014, MacDonald moved on loan to Dumbarton[6] until the end of the calendar year.[7] He made his Scottish Premiership debut on 28 February 2015 in a 1-0 defeat for Accies away to St Mirren, and started a further six league fixtures in the campaign.[8] On 31 August 2015, having failed to make any appearances in the opening month of the 2015–16 season, he was released by Hamilton.[9]

MacDonald signed for East Fife in October 2015, with the contract running until January 2016,[10] at which point he was signed by Scottish League One side Airdrieonians on an initial short-term deal.[11] In May 2016, he signed a new two-year contract.[12]

In June 2019 he signed for Raith Rovers.[13]
