On 3rd January 2022 Dunfermline Athletic signed Coll Donaldson on loan from Ross County until the end of the season. The 26 year central defender made 31 starts for Ross County in the previous season and was clearly a player that John Hughes knew well.

Injury restricted Coll`s appearances in season 2021-2022 to just four in July and August. A knee injury kept him out until mid December but was only an unused sub in the three matches he was stripped for.

Coll grew up in North Berwick and played for Tynecastle Colts before joining Livingston`s youth system. He was on trial with Manchester United at the age of 17 but in January 2014 at the age of 18 he was signed by Harry Redknapp for Queens Park Rangers. He made just one appearance for the London club in the Championship against Barnsley before eighteen months later returning to Scotland to join Dundee United.

After two seasons at Tannadice, Coll joined Inverness Caley Thistle where he would make 103 appearances for the Highlanders. Next move was a short one over the Kessock Bridge to join Ross County in January 2020.

With the experience of 223 senior appearances, everyone at East End Park welcomed Coll to the club and hoped that he can make a great contribution towards the team`s success for the remainder of the season.

Coll made 18 appearances for Dunfermline, starting in every one and scored two goals before leaving at the end of season 2021-2022. He joined Falkirk for the following season.
