McDonald was born in Inverness, Scotland[3] and played for Rangers in his early career; the Glasgow club won the Scottish Football League in both the seasons he was with them, but he only had a minor role in each.[4][5][6]
He is best known for his time at Newcastle United who he joined in 1921 and was to spend a decade with the club. At 5' 8" he was one of Newcastle's taller forwards of the time. He made his debut on 5 March 1921 against Middlesbrough. Whilst on Tyneside he made 367 appearances for the club and scored 113 goals. He won the FA Cup in 1924 and the old First Division Championship in 1926–27.[7] He joined York City in May 1931.[2]
McDonald served in the Royal Horse Artillery during the First World War.[8]
