Donnelly played in the North American Soccer League for the San Diego Sockers between 1979 and 1983, making 116 outdoor appearances. During his time with the Sockers, he also played three indoor seasons, two in the NASL and one, the 1982–83 season, in the Major Indoor Soccer League. The Sockers won the MISL title that season. In May 1984, the Sockers sold Donnelly and Alan Mayer to the Las Vegas Americans for $150,000. When the Americans folded at the end of the season, Donnelly returned to San Diego where he worked briefly as a truck driver. In December 1985, he signed as a free agent for the Dallas Sidekicks.
