In an interview on his new club’s YouTube channel, Maguire said: “I’m buzzing to be here. It’s obviously a privilege to come and sign for Doncaster City. I just feel like, obviously, [the ambition is] to win the league, with what’s going off and the ambition. It’s got to be to get promoted, first and foremost.

"I used to be a centre midfielder so I can play, I like to come out with the ball. I don’t know how they’re going to want to play but I do like to get the ball from the back and play and pass it. It’s different in these sort of leagues, I do get that. I do like to try and play into midfield.”
