Born in Glasgow, Scotland,[2] and a youth product of Perth Glory Academy, Donnell made his first-team debut against Melbourne Victory in a FFA Cup playoff match on 24 November 2021.[4] He made a further three senior appearances for Perth Glory, including his A-League Men debut against Wellington Phoenix on 13 April 2022.[5] He extended on a two-year contract in February 2023,[4] amassing only one appearance during the 2022–23 season.[5]

In July 2023, Donnell was announced to have signed for English Premier League club Fulham for an undisclosed fee, after a successful trial with the London side.[2][5][6] Amidst good form with the under-21 squad, Donnell joined Scottish Championship club Airdrieonians on 1 February 2024, on loan until the end of the season.[7] Donnell came on as a second-half substitute for Airdrieonians in the side's win in the 2024 Scottish Challenge Cup final.[8]
