Donaldson began his career with Hibernian, where he featured on the bench numerous times throughout the 2012–13 season. He spent the first half of the 2013–14 season on loan at Arbroath where he scored his first goal in professional football, in a 2–1 defeat to Airdrieonians on 28 December 2013. In the same game he suffered a bad injury resulting in him missing the rest of the 2013–14 season.[citation needed] Following his loan spell, he left Easter Road.[1]
Following his release, the defender signed for Livingston.[2] His season was again hampered with injuries and left the club at the end of the 2014–15 season after just a few league and cup appearances.

He had spells in junior football with Linlithgow Rose and Musselburgh Athletic winning the East of Scotland Premier League before returning to the Scottish Football League with Edinburgh City in 2018.[4]
The defender left the Citizens in 2019 after 11 league appearances and just missing out on promotion to Scottish League One. He returned to junior football.[5] He signed for Tranent Juniors in 2019, had a second spell at Musselburgh Athletic in 2020 before returning to Tranent Juniors in 2021 where he again won the East of Scotland Premier League and gained promotion to the Scottish Lowland League.
