Adam Patrick McDonnell (born 14 May 1997) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League side Aldershot Town.

Playing career

McDonnell signed with Ipswich Town from Shelbourne in August 2014, having previously had trials at Manchester United and Bolton Wanderers.[2] However, he was unable to feature for the "Tractorboys" until his 18th birthday due to FIFA regulations, much to manager Mick McCarthy's annoyance.[3] He made his debut on 25 August 2015, in a 4–1 League Cup victory over Doncaster Rovers at the Keepmoat Stadium.[4] On August 30, McDonnell was loaned out to Vanarama National League side Aldershot Town where he made 14 appearances and scored 4 goals. McDonnell was recalled from loan in December 2017 due to injury problems at Ipswich Town. He featured on the bench in a EFL Championship game against Wolverhampton Wanderers which Ipswich Town went on to lose 1-0 at the Molineux Stadium.[5]

On 26 January 2018, following his release from Ipswich, McDonnell returned to Aldershot Town on a one-and-half-year deal.[6]
