Ross McCormack, a former Leeds United player, has joined 11th-tier club Doncaster City.

McCormack, who was once Elland Road’s top scorer, will now play in the Central Midlands League Premier Division North. He has agreed to deal with Doncaster City, which was founded in 2022 by football agent Willie McKay.

Doncaster City revealed the former Scotland international would be with the club “for a short period” in an announcement on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

The transfer follows McCormack’s time as a player and director of football at Liversedge. His departure was confirmed last month, when Liversedge said it had “not worked out”.

A statement posted on X read: “We can confirm that Ross McCormack has left Liversedge FC by mutual consent. Though it did not work out for both sides, we wish Ross the best in the future and appreciate his time with us. “No further comments will be made.”

Doncaster City unveiled McCormack shortly after confirming the signing of Charlie Mulgrew, a former Celtic and Blackburn Rovers defender.

McCormack, 37, was a fan favourite at Elland Road during his four years with the club. He scored 58 goals in 157 appearances with the Whites before moving to Fulham in 2014.

He has formerly played for Cardiff City, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest.
