Joe McDonnell (born 19 May 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for AFC Wimbledon.
Playing career
McDonnell came through the ranks at Basingstoke Town under the guidance of academy manager Jason Bristow, who gave him his first contract after playing amateur cricket up until around the age of 16 or 17. McDonnell was also previously coached by current AFC Wimbledon goalkeeping coach Ashley Bayes at Basingstoke, who he credits with influencing him to become a goalkeeper.[1]
After graduating from the Basingstoke academy, McDonnell made two league appearances for the Dragons during the 2012-13 season, and a further four the following season, as well as spending time on loan at Hendon. He made a total of twelve appearances for Basingstoke Town in all competitions.[2]
In July 2014, he signed a professional contract at AFC Wimbledon after turning down interest from other clubs.[1] After featuring as a mainstay on Wimbledon's bench for the first half of the season, McDonnell made his first team début on 14 February 2015, coming on as a 23rd minute substitute in the 2-0 away loss to Shrewsbury Town after James Shea was stretchered off.[3]
