Club Career
Wrexham
Done started his career at Wrexham through the Centre of Excellence in July 2004 and after progressing through the ranks at the club, he was called up to the first team in the wake of the club's financial trouble. 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. At the end of the 2005–06 season, in which saw him make six appearances, mostly a handful of substitute appearances, Done was offered a professional contract by the club, in which he signed it.
Then, Done broke into the first team squad at the start of the 2006–07 season and his first goal for Wrexham came against Grimsby Town, and he went on to score against Sheffield Wednesday during a 4–1 win in the League Cup. Although he appeared as unused substitute on seven occasions, but suffered an ankle injury, Done finished the 2006–07 season, making thirty–eight appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.
In the 2007–08 season, Done continued to be in the first team regular for the side, though he remained as an unused substitute on several occasions this season, as well as, his own injury concern. He was offered a new contract by Wrexham in May 2008 following the club's relegation to the Football Conference. However, Done reportedly turned down a new contract fr
