Club career

Brisbane Roar

In 2010 he signed a youth contract with A-League club Brisbane Roar. He made his professional debut in the 2011–12 A-League season on 25 March 2012 in a round 27 clash against Gold Coast United at the Robina Stadium.[2] Two weeks before the start of 2012–13 A-League Donachie signed a three-year senior contract with Brisbane.[3]
