Raised in Hamilton, Ontario, McDonald played 1928 to 1939 at left full-back for Rangers. Prior to that he played wing-back for American Soccer League outfit Bethlehem Steel F.C. after having a brief stint with Toronto Ulster United.
McDonald was enshrined in the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame as an inaugural inductee in 2000.
The nickname "whitey" was in reference to the colour of his hair which was a light reddish-blonde.
