Club career

Wrexham

He started his career at Wrexham and broke into the first team squad at the start of the 2006–07 season, having made a handful of substitute appearances the previous season. His debut came a month after his 17th birthday, as a substitute in a home defeat to Doncaster Rovers. He made his full debut on the last day of the season against Darlington.

His first goal for Wrexham came against Grimsby Town,^[1] and he went on to score against Sheffield Wednesday during a 4–1 win in the League Cup.^[2]

He was offered a new contract by Wrexham in May 2008 following the club's relegation to the Football Conference.^[3]

Hereford United

However, he choose to stay in the Football League and signed for League One club Hereford United for an undisclosed fee in June 2008.^[4] He scored his first goal for the club against Swindon Town in the Football League Trophy on 8 October 2008.^[5]

Rochdale

Done signed for League One newcomers Rochdale on 31 July 2010 on a six-month contract. He scored his first goal for the club in the Football League Trophy against Port Vale on 31 August 2010.^[6] His contract was subsequently extended until the end of the season. On 16 May 2011 it was announced Matt had signed a new contract until the end of the 2011–12 season.

Barnsley

Just a month after signing a new contract with Rochdale, Done signed for Championship club Barnsley on 21 June 2011, along with Scott Wiseman.^[7][8] He played regularly during the 2011–12 season, but suffered a knee injury early in the 2012–13 season.^[9] Barnsley then changed manager and new tactics meant that Done was surplus to their requirements.^[9] On 31 January 2013, Done signed for Scottish Premier League club Hibernian on loan until the end of the 2012–13 season.^[10] Done scored his first goal for the "Hibees" on 3 March, in a 4–2 victory against Kilmarnock in the 2012–13 Scottish Cup.^[11] Barnsley announced on 9 May that Done will leave the club at the end of his contract.^[12]

Sheffield United

On 2 February 2015, Matt Done signed a two-and-a-half-year-deal with Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee.^[16] On 10 February 2015, Done scored on his Blades début in a 4–1 home victory over Colchester United.^[17] On 14 February 2015 in his second match for United, Done scored a brace away at Bristol City in a 3–1 victory against the league leaders.^[18]
