Rugby union career

Amateur career

McDonald has played for Glasgow Academicals, Glasgow Hawks, Hull and Currie at an amateur level.

Professional career

McDonald played for Glasgow Warriors against Canada 'A' on 30 August 2016 in a 63–0 win for the Warriors at Bridgehaugh Park, Stirling. He re-joined with the Warriors on 5 May 2017 for the 2017–18 season. He made his competitive debut for the Warriors away against the Ospreys in the Pro14 on 26 November 2017. He started the match which ended in a 7-try demolition of the Welsh side.

McDonald moved to Wasps ahead of the 2022–23 season but was made redundant on 17 October 2022 along with all other players and coaching staff when Wasps entered administration. He subsequently joined Irish United Rugby Championship club Munster on a three-month contract as injury cover in late October 2022, and made his senior competitive debut for the province when he started in their historic 28–14 win against a South Africa XV in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on 10 November 2022. McDonald departed the province upon the completion of his three-month contract at the end of January 2023. He will join English club Newcastle Falcons on a two-year contract from the 2023–24 season.

International career

McDonald was called up to the Scotland squad for the 2021 summer internationals. He played for the Barbarians in their 31–30 win against Bath on 20 November 2022.

Outside of rugby

In 2012, as an RAF cadet, McDonald Seran won the Kriegie Trophy. The trophy is awarded to the cadet who, in the opinion of the officers, is the best of the air cadets to attend the course in that particular year. A motion was lodged in the Scottish Parliament by his local SNP MSP, Fiona McLeod, to congratulate McDonald's achievement.
