At 32 years of age, MacDonald currently lends his talents to Aberdeen as a central defender, a position he adopteds with notable prowess and acumen. Standing at 6 ft (1.84m) and weighing in at 11 stone (70kg), he's a formidable figure on the pitch, and proudly dons the number 27 jersey for his club.
According to Transfermarkt, MacDonald's current market value hovers around £250k. As for his tenure at Aberdeen, his current contract has just under eight months remaining, set to conclude on May 31, 2025.
MacDonald's football journey kicked off in grand fashion in July 2009 when he joined Reading in England's League One. His tenure at Reading, however, was peppered with loan spells starting in February 2012 when he transferred to Torquay United in the National League South. At Torquay, he had quite a remarkable run spanning multiple seasons, with a considerable number of first team appearances and a handful of goals to his name. Post his stint at Torquay, MacDonald returned back to Reading in May 2012.
The next stage of MacDonald's career saw him on loan again, this time around at AFC Wimbledon in the League Two, where his tenure was quite brief with just four first team appearances in the 2012 - 2013 season. MacDonald was soon back at Torquay United on loan in November 2012, replicating his previous performance with multiple first team appearances and some crucial goals.
Post the completion of his loan at Torquay United in April 2013, MacDonald found himself at Salisbury City where he made 29 first team appearances along with two goals in the 2013 - 2014 season. His triumphant journey saw him returning to Torquay United yet again in July 2014, where his contributions to the team remained consistent, underscored by first team appearances and goals.
In a significant career move, MacDonald transferred to Barnsley in August 2016 for a transfer fee of £100k. His tenure at Barnsley saw him make a sizeable number of first team appearances and score a goal as well. However, by January 2018, MacDonald was on the move again, this time to Hull City, for an undisclosed fee. His stint at Hull City saw him making appearances, though sparingly, over several seasons.
MacDonald transferred yet again, from Hull City to Rotherham United in August 2020. He made a significant impact at Rotherham United, with 39 first team appearances and one goal in the 2020 - 2021 season. Another transfer followed soon, and he joined Swindon Town in July 2022. A brief tenure at Swindon soon led to MacDonald's current affiliation with Aberdeen in Scotland's Premiership in January 2023. At Aberdeen, MacDonald has made consistent appearances and contributed to the team's endeavours since the 2022 - 2023 season. In the ongoing 2024 - 2025 season, however, MacDonald hasn't made any appearances in league matches as of yet.
Despite his absence from the current league season, MacDonald's contributions have been noteworthy especially in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 where he started once and made one substitute appearance for Aberdeen. He also played a significant role in the Scottish Cup 2023 - 2024 with one goal to his credit in three starts and made valuable contribution in the Conference League 2023 - 2024 with a goal in two starts for Aberdeen.
