On 27 February 2007 he missed a penalty during sudden death in the 6th round of the FA cup against Middlesbrough, who won 5–4 on penalties. [2] After the end of the 2006–07 season it was announced that his loan period had been extended until January 2008.

On 8 February 2008, Mac-Donald joined Hereford United on a month's emergency loan. [6] He scored twice on his debut the following day in a 4–1 victory over Dagenham & Redbridge, earning him a place in the League Two Team of the Week.
