On long-term scout potential he's rated 3.8. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (13.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McDonald.
On the season, McDonald graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.092 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 6). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 4. At 37 McDonald is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Exeter City finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 3.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
