Born in Blackpool, Lancashire, Donnelly attended Claremont Primary School and Warbreck Hill High School in North Shore, Blackpool.

Donnelly started out in the youth team and then as a trainee at Blackburn Rovers in 2002. After being an ever-present in the club's reserve team in the 2003–04 season, on 25 March 2004 he was sent on loan to Blackpool who were then in League One. He played nine league matches before the loan spell ran out on 9 May. However, he did not make any first-team appearances for Blackburn Rovers and he signed for his hometown club on a free transfer on 16 March 2005 initially until the end of the season, with an option for a further year. On 2 September 2005 Donelly scored the winning goal as Blackpool beat Doncaster Rovers 1–0 at Belle Vue in League One.
On 23 November 2006 Blackpool sent him on loan to Southport, who were then in the Conference National, where he played eleven league games, scoring one goal.
