Club career
editHaving arrived from Martinique, Donisa trained with CS Brétigny-sur-Orge and later played with the U19 team of FC Rouen. Having almost secured a move to Parma whilst at Rouen, a move which fell through over a disagreement about compensation due to the Brétigny club, he moved to Italy anyway, playing with Battipagliese and Fondi.[2]
In 2015 he joined AS Pagny-sur Moselle after being involved in a training match organised by his agent.[2] In his second season with the club he scored thirteen goals, and was signed by Concarneau to play in the Championnat National.[3]
Donisa was designated revelation of the Championnat National for the 2017–18 season, and earned a move to Red Star F.C., signing a two-year professional contract at the start of the 2018–19 season.[4] On 27 July 2018, the first matchday of the 2018–19 season, Donisa made his Ligue 2 debut with Red Star in a 2–1 home defeat to Niort.[5]
In January 2019, he was loaned to AS Lyon-Duchère from Red Star until the end of the season.[6] Whilst at Lyon-Duchère he caught the eye of recruiters from Clermont Foot, and eventually signed a two-year contract with them in August 2019.[7]
In June 2020, Donisa signed for Le Mans FC.[8]
