Club and state rowing

Raised in Queensland, McDonnell's senior club rowing was with the Toowong Rowing Club in Brisbane.

In 2011 McDonnell was first selected in a Queensland lightweight coxless four to contest the Penrith Cup at the Interstate Regatta.[1] He rowed again in the Queensland Penrith Cup four in 2012.[2] After a two year gap he was back in the Queensland lightweight four for their 2015 Penrith Cup victory [3]

International representative rowing

McDonnell was first selected to represented Australia at the 2012 World Rowing Championships in Plovdiv. He was a reserve for the Australian men's lightweight eight but raced as lightweight single sculler. In that event he finished in overall 22nd place.[4] At the 2013 World Rowing Championships in Chungju. He was in the two seat of the Australian men's lightweight eight when they took the silver medal. [4].[4]

He gained a seat in the Australian lightweight coxless four into 2015 and rowed in that boat at two World Rowing Cups in Europe but when Perry Ward had to make a late withdrawal from the crew due to injury just before the 2015 World Rowing Championships Silcox and Darryn Purcell were reassigned to race in a lightweight coxless pair and McDonnell to again race the lightweight scull.[5] It was a similar outcome to 2012 in that he finished in 23rd place. It was McDonnell's last national representative appearance.[4]
