Notts County have strengthened their defensive line-up with the acquisition of Harrogate Town defender, Rod McDonald.
The 32-year-old, who boasts over 200 EFL appearances, joins the team for an undisclosed fee and has penned a two-year contract.
Richard Montague, a board member who leads on recruitment, expressed his enthusiasm: βRod, with his proven track record as a robust EFL defender, brings exceptional depth to our backline.
βAs well as his excellent defensive attributes, physical presence, and ball-handling abilities, he adds leadership and experience to the squad.
βHaving won two promotions from this division and being named Creweβs Player of the Season in 2022-23, we have every confidence he will be a significant addition to the team."
McDonald began his career as a youngster at Manchester City and Stoke City before making his way into the EFL by showcasing his talents in non-league football.
Chris Wilder provided McDonald with his EFL opportunity, signing him for Northampton Town and seeing him become a regular starter in the 2015-16 League Two title-winning side.
McDonald's next move took him to Coventry City, where he was part of the squad that defeated Notts County in the 2018 League Two play-offs, before he headed south to play League One football with AFC Wimbledon.
Two years at Carlisle United followed, culminating in his award-winning season at Crewe which eventually led to his move to Harrogate.
