Goalkeeper Shaun MacDonald joined Newport County in October 2025, adding depth and experience to the Exiles’ goalkeeping department.

Born on 20 October 1996, MacDonald began his career in non-league football, gaining valuable senior experience with Gateshead, Blyth Spartans and Torquay United. His performances earned him a move into the EFL with Cheltenham Town in July 2022, where he spent a season before departing the club.

In September 2023, MacDonald signed a short-term deal with Exeter City. Initially contracted until January 2024, his stay was extended through to the end of the campaign. He remained with the Grecians until the conclusion of the 2024–25 season.

MacDonald joined Newport County on on a deal running until the end of the 2025–26 season, providing cover and competition for Jordan Wright. After a brief departure in January 2026, he re-signed for the Exiles later that month to continue his time at Rodney Parade.
