He spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Colchester United, making 32 appearances in League Two. 'There seems like a real family environment here with a strong bond amongst the players and staff. I feel like this is a club where I can really contribute and develop,' McDonnell said. 'I've previously spoken to Kyle and Joe and they've said nothing but great things about the club.' McDonnell scooped Colchester's Young Player of the Season accolade and also made it into the Sky Bet League Two Team of the Season. He captained Forest's Under-18s in their first-ever FA Youth Cup Final in 2022 against Manchester United at Old Trafford and has also featured five times in his nation's Uefa European Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign. The Stags start the 2025/26 season with a trip to boss Nigel Clough's former club Burton Albion on August 2. Meanwhile, League One side Blackpool are reportedly interested in Forest and Northern Ireland striker Dale Taylor. The 21-year-old spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Wigan Athletic in the third-tier of English football.
