Chimalilo was a standout performer under Graeme Lee at Marske United before their resignation from the NPL in December 2023. Ahead of his move to Mount Pleasant, the pacey wide man put in a number of promising performances at Guiseley after turning out for Scarborough Athletic before his spell at Nethermoor.

Whitby manager Gary Liddle said: "Donald is a player who has provided a real buzz about our recent performances.

"His energy and technical skills have made him a real fan pleaser and I know they'll be as excited as I am to be able to call him a Whitby Town player. DC is someone I've long courted so to finally get him over the line is great for me and the club.”
