He's exceeded expectations, but I wouldn't keep him beyond this season.

Great attitude, can tell he’s a team player - you don’t have to be the greatest skilled to be respected and admired. Definitely does a good job and I think he’s worth a contract.

Hes obviously playing for a deal one more year will give him more incentive

A kind of cross between Kirke and later career JJB. Worth another year.

He’s not the best player but he certainly gives 100%

Whether or not we keep him probably depends on if Ablett and Ferres stay or not

give him a year.great squad player on average wages

Worth another deal without a doubt as he has been a great signing for the club IMO

Definitely worth another contract. He has a brilliant tackling technique and his line speed and work ethic are first class. Sinfield deserves credit for his signing.

Depends what plans we have going forward. Hes not much use in attack but gives his all and defends very well.

Hes stayed relatively injury free too which he hasn't always done in his career.

I'd give him another year but wouldn't be surprised to see him leave for a longer deal elsewhere.

I’d deff give him another year. He’s really won me over. Squad players with the right attitude are hard to find. And he consistently gives his best which in a salary capped sport is what you need. For the wages that he’s on you probably wouldn’t find a much better player.

I'll hold my hands up on this wasn't impressed at all when he was announced but he punches above & always gets stuck in.
However id hope to see Ablett Albert Jjb & Ferres minimum moved on next year that should give us scope for another quality big hitting fwd & with the likes of Merrin Ward Sutcliffe (if he's retained) Martin C.Smith Walters Trout & possibly A. Sutcliffe i dont see a spot for him.

P.s Forgot we have Mellor coming in as well.

On current form he is ahead of Smith. Ward is likely to miss large parts of the season. Some of the other younger players you mentioned are are unproven as yet, if they prove themselves then they may get ahead of him in the pecking order but time will tell. Even with Mellor, Martin and possibly another forward to add to Merrin and Ward there will surely be plenty of chances for Donaldson.

Let's not forget about lads like Trout, Mustapha and Walters who need to be pushed thru the system
