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.

### Return to Aldershot Town

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