Clayton Andrew Donaldson (born 7 February 1984) is an English footballer who plays for Crewe Alexandra as a striker.

Donaldson started his career with Hull City in 2002, scoring on his first team debut in the Football League Trophy later that year. He was sent out on loan to non-League clubs on four occasions, and with chances in the first team at Hull limited, he was released in 2005 and subsequently joined York City. In his first season at the club, he was voted as their Clubman of the Year and his second season saw him finish as the team's highest scorer and third highest scorer in the league.

He joined Scottish Premier League team Hibernian in July 2007, after signing a pre-contract agreement with them in January whilst with York. After a season at the club he left to return to England with Crewe Alexandra. He has played internationally for the England National Game XI, who represent the English non-League, with whom he won two caps.

Contents

[edit] Early life

Donaldson was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire,[2] and was educated at a school in the city.[3] He played football from an early age and was spotted by Bradford City when playing as a midfielder for his school side.

[edit] Club career

[edit] Hull City

Donaldson turned professional with Hull City in August 2002, scoring on his first team debut in Hull's Football League Trophy match against Port Vale on 22 October 2002, having replaced Gary Alexander as a second half substitute.[4] He was sent out on loan to Harrogate Town in November, where he played for three months, scoring five goals,[5] before returning to Hull. He made his Football league debut for Hull on 8 February 2003, coming on as a late substitute for Damien Delaney in a 1–0 defeat at home to Lincoln City.[6] He made one further appearance in the 2002–03 season, as a substitute away to Boston United.[7] In August 2003, Donaldson joined Conference National side Scarborough on a month's loan.[8] On his return to Hull he made two further first team appearances, both as a substitute in the Football League Trophy, before joining Halifax Town on a month's loan in February 2004.[9] With little prospect of a first team place at Hull, he rejoined Harrogate Town on a month's loan in September 2004,[5] and was voted Conference North player of the month in October.[10] He scored three goals in eight appearances during this spell.[11] At the end of the 2004–05 season, Donaldson was released by Hull, as manager Peter Taylor couldn't guarantee him first team football.[12]

[edit] York City

After his release by Hull, Donaldson was spoken to by Barrow,[13] but was eventually signed by York City in June 2005, with manager Billy McEwan saying: "He's a young player who is very hungry for his chance and he'll bring competition up front".[10] He made his debut for the team against Crawley Town in August.[14] His first goal came in a 1–0 win against Cambridge United in September.[15] During his first season with York, Donaldson scored 18 goals and won the Clubman of the Year award.[16][17] He agreed a contract extension with York for the 2006–07 season in July.[18]

York manager McEwan compared Donaldson to Costa Rican Paulo Wanchope in September,[19] but following York's 2–0 defeat against Oxford United later that month, McEwan criticised Donaldson's selfishness in attack, saying it cost them the game.[20] In late 2006, Donaldson became subject of much transfer speculation. Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy watched him in York's 1–0 victory over Altrincham, during which he scored his 12th goal of the season, in November 2006.[21] He was also watched by Scottish Premier League side Hibernian.[22] In response to this speculation, Donaldson said: "I don't read too much into the speculation. I've heard it before and nothing has happened so I will just keep my head down and enjoy my football until a point comes when the manager or board come and tell me they have had an offer they want to consider".[22]

Donaldson following York's 1–0 win over Oxford United on 28 April 2007, which preceded the team's games in the play-offs

On 18 December 2006, he rejected the offer of a new contract at York City, meaning he would be out of contact at the club at the end of the season.[23] Scunthorpe United and Peterborough United Director of Football Barry Fry both watched him in December 2006.[24][25] Fry was believed to have tabled a £100,000 bid for Donaldson, but this failed to meet York's valuation and they halted their bid at this amount.[25][26] He was reportedly given a £500,000 transfer valuation by York in January 2007.[27] A cash-plus player bid from Accrington Stanley for Donaldson was rejected in January, which according to York was £25,000 and was termed as an "embarrassment" by York manager McEwan, and Accrington then upped their bid to a six-figure fee, but were told that Donaldson was not for sale.[28][29][30]

Donaldson was suspended for three games following his 51st-minute sending off for using his elbow in York's 2–1 defeat at Kidderminster Harriers on 20 January 2007.[31] York rejected a bid from Scunthorpe for Donaldson, with their approach falling short of York's valuation,[32] after which Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins said he would not pay "stupid money" for Donaldson.[33] Hibernian announced that Donaldson had signed a pre-contract agreement with them for a three-year contract on 29 January 2007,[34] and as he was 23 years old a month later, York were not entitled to any compensation under FIFA regulations.[35] York later turned down a £50,000 offer from Hibernian, which would have allowed them to bring Donaldson to the club immediately.[36] York boss McEwan wanted Donaldson to give his complete commitment for York for the rest of the seasom,[37] who also revealed that the club intended to fight against the "international loophole" that meant Donaldson could join Hibernian for free.[38] Donaldson's agent, Andy Sprott, said suggestions he deliberately found Donaldson a deal in Scotland so York would not receive any compensation was "not the case".[39]

Donaldson was to return from his suspension for York's reserves against Sheffield United at KitKat Crescent on 6 February 2007,[40] but the game was frozen off,[41] and he eventually returned against Altrincham.[42] His first goal for York since his suspension came against Cambridge United, scoring a hat-trick on 13 March 2007.[43] He insisted he remained fully committed to York, after speculation concerning his commitment grew in April.[44] He finished the 2006–07 season with 26 goals for York,[45] including 24 in the Conference National, resulting in him being third top scorer of the league.[46]

[edit] Hibernian

He scored his first goal for Hibernian in a pre-season friendly against Brechin City on 10 July 2007.[47] He made his Scottish Premier League debut against Hibs' rivals Hearts in August 2007 and his first league goal came against Falkirk in September, after winning and scoring a penalty.[48][49] Donaldson was later sent off in this match,[50] which resulted in a suspension.[51] His first game back was against Motherwell in the Scottish League Cup, who he scored against, after a solo run and shot.[52] He went on to score his first hat-trick for Hibs against Kilmarnock in the SPL later that month.[53]

He was linked with a move to League One side Crewe Alexandra in February,[54] after being unable to figure in Mixu Paatelainen's plans at the club, meaning he was frozen out of the first-team at Hibs.[55] He finished the 2007–08 season with 21 appearances and scored six goals,[56] with his last goal of the season coming in December 2007.[57] Darlington of League Two were believed to be interested in signing Donaldson after the end of the season.[58] He was eventually told that he was available for transfer by Hibs.[59] Crewe were believed to be lining up a bid for him in July, who had money available after selling striker Nicky Maynard to Bristol City for £2.25 million and held negotiations with Donaldson.[60][61] The move stalled after a six-figure fee had been agreed but Donaldson later agreed personal terms.[62][63]

[edit] Crewe Alexandra

Donaldson's move to League One side Crewe Alexandra was completed on 18 August 2008 on a three-year deal for an undisclosed six-figure fee, pending international clearance from the Scottish FA,[64] which was received on 22 August.[65] He made his debut as an 81st minute substitute in a 2–1 victory against Walsall on 23 August 2008.[66] Donaldson's former club York made an attempt to re-sign him on loan in October, but were told to make an inquiry four weeks later, due to him having an injury.[67] Despite this, he came on as a substitute in Crewe's 3–0 defeat to Scunthorpe United,[68] which was followed by his first start in a 2–2 draw with Milton Keynes Dons.[69] He scored his first Crewe goals with a brace against Huddersfield Town in November, in a match that eventually finished as a 3–2 defeat.[70] He scored the winner in Crewe's next game, an FA Cup first round tie against Ebbsfleet United, which saw them progress with a 1–0 victory.[71] He displayed the ability of long throw-ins, which he initially developed while in the Hull youth team, on several occassions, including a 3–2 victory over Scunthorpe United,[72] where he also scored.[73] He scored three goals in four matches later in the season, with the final goal, against Carlisle United, proving to be his last of the 2008–09 season.[74] Donaldson finished the season with 43 appearances and seven goals.[75]

[edit] International career

Donaldson was named in the initial 22-man squad,[76] then eventually in the final 16-man squad for the England National Game XI team to play the Netherlands in November 2006.[77] He made his debut in this match, coming on as a substitute in the last 15 minutes, during which he set up Dagenham & Redbridge striker Craig Mackail-Smith for the final goal in a 4–1 victory.[78]

“ "I thought I had a decent chance of starting so I was a bit disappointed when the side was named but really I was just happy to be there because I've missed out on the final squad a few times. The manager (Paul Fairclough) had also seen the other strikers play before but had never seen me play so he was only going on what scouts told him, but I got a winners' medal from the tournament and an England cap, which I was delighted with and I hope there's more to come"

- Donaldson on his inclusion to the team.[22]

 ”

He was included in the squad which played Northern Ireland in February 2007.[79] However, York manager Billy McEwan contemplated withdrawing Donaldson from the game, after Donaldson's comeback for York against Altrincham in February.[80] He eventually featured after being played from the start against Northern Ireland, but was substituted after 50 minutes for Paul Benson, who scored England's only goal two minutes after coming on in a 3–1 defeat.[81] He said he believed he could become a full England international at Hibernian.[82]

[edit] Personal life

Donaldson is in a relationship with Pippa Fulton, a former contestant on the BBC's Fame Academy.[83] He and Fulton were evicted from their flat in December 2007 due to the landlord failing to pay its mortgage.[84] His brother, Jahsiah Donaldson, signed schoolboy forms with Leeds United in July 2008.[85]
