Gerry Luke McDonagh is an Irish footballer who plays for Wrexham, on loan from Nottingham Forest.
Club career
Nottingham Forest
After two years playing at the Nottingham Forest academy, McDonagh made his professional debut as an 80th-minute substitute during a 2-1 loss against Cardiff City on 29 August 2015.[3]
Loan to Wrexham
In July 2016, McDonagh joined National League side Wrexham on an initial one-month loan deal as cover for the injured Jordan White.[4] McDonagh was excited over the prospect of playing first-team football, claiming the loan would be "a good experience as a young player coming in from Nottingham Forest".[5] He made his debut for the club as a substitute in place of Shaun Harrad during a 3–2 victory over Guiseley on 9 August 2016, scoring his first senior career goal.[6] Both Harrad and McDonagh scored as Wrexham defeated Bromley 2-1 on the 24 October, with Harrad hailing their partnership up front; "Once you’ve got one striker committing, the other one gets the drop downs".[7] On the 26 November McDonagh scored his first career brace as Wrexham defeated Forest Green Rovers 3-1. His strike partner Harrad scored Wrexham's other goal of the game.[8]
