Aaron Donnelly, born on 8 June 2003 (age 23), is a Northern Ireland central defender whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Dundee. Wearing the number 6 shirt, he has made 34 league appearances for the Dens Park club across four seasons, scoring once.
His earlier development included a loan spell at Port Vale in 2022-23, where he made nine league appearances and scored one goal. That remains his most productive league campaign in attacking terms, modest enough, but useful experience for a young defender still working his way into regular senior football.
Dundee has been the main thread. Donnelly’s role there has not always been expansive, and in 2025-26 he has made two league appearances without scoring, which tells its own quiet story about where he currently sits in the squad picture.
His market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, Donnelly’s career is that of an established young professional with most of his senior football tied to Dundee, after an early loan at Port Vale helped bridge the gap into first-team football.
