The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Leyton Orient, where he made 52 appearances in total, scoring eight times and providing 11 assists.
In January, Donley gained notoriety when, against Manchester City, his left-footed strike from 45 yards out hit the crossbar before hitting the back of City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega to give the O's the lead in their eventual 2-1 FA Cup defeat.
Born in Antrim, Donley is also a Northern Ireland international and made his debut in March.
