McDonnell was recalled from loan in December 2017 due to injury problems at Ipswich Town. He featured on the bench in an EFL Championship game against Wolverhampton Wanderers
which Ipswich Town went on to lose 1-0 at the Molineux Stadium.

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

Boreham Wood
