Career

MacDonald began his career with Portsmouth but made no first-team appearances and joined non-league club Havant & Waterlooville.[2] He joined Football League One club Peterborough United in February 2001[3] but struggled to break into the first-team,[2] making 21 league and cup appearances in two years.[3] He joined Football Conference side Stevenage Borough on loan in November 2001[2] and made eleven appearances for the club during the remainder of the 2001–02 season.[3]

At the end of the season, he joined another National Conference side Woking,[4] where he started 120 games in four years.[5] He was signed by Ebbsfleet United in June 2007[5] but suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in his first game for Ebbsfleet in August 2007,[6][7] which ruled him out of the game for several months until he made his comeback in a Kent Senior Cup match in January 2008.[7]

MacDonald returned to the first-team in March 2008 and by the end of the 2007–08 season, had made eight appearances for Ebbsfleet[8] and collected a winners medal when Ebbsfleet won the FA Trophy at Wembley Stadium in May 2008.[9] MacDonald returned to Havant & Waterlooville in 2009, but fell out of favour with the manager and made his last appearance for the club in March 2010. During the close-season of 2010, MacDonald signed for Kingstonian.[10]

Following a one-month loan with Metropolitan Police, the 34-year-old signed for Walton Casuals. In July 2014, the versatile defender signed for Slough Town. He then briefly lined up for Farnborough, before a switch to Staines Town. He then joined Walton & Hersham in February 2016.[11] Following the resignation of manager Mark Hams the following month, MacDonald was announced as player-manager for the eight remaining games of the 2015–16 season.[12]

In July 2016 he was announced by Hayes & Yeading United to be Mickey Lewis' playing assistant manager, having had two previous spells with the club, most recently in 2015 under Phil Babb and Tristan Lewis.
