Dean McDonald (born 19 February 1986) is an English professional footballer currently playing for Gillingham.
Measuring 5 feet 4 inches and known as "Mini Mac", McDonald is one of the smallest players in the Football League, smaller even than Chelsea midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips. But McDonald was noticed for his skill rather than size when signed by Ipswich Town from Arsenal where he started his career as a youth player. He opened his account with Ipswich Town against Crewe Alexndra ,with Ipswich going on to win the game 2-1.
McDonald is a highly rated attacking midfielder, although he can play in a more of a striker role. He spent a month on loan with Hartlepool United, scoring one goal, before bring recalled due to an injury crisis at Ipswich with Ipswich rejecting a money sum for the player.
On 22 May 2006 he signed for Gillingham on a 2 year contract. On his debut for his new club on 5 August he scored the winner in a 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town.
