In the 2009–10 season, Done started the opening game of the season against Morecambe well when he set up one of the goals, in a 2–2 draw.[20] However, throughout the 2009–10 season, Done struggled in the first team, due to spending the most of the season on the substitute bench, as well as, his own injury concerns.[21] As a result, Done finished the 2009–10 season, making twenty–five appearances in all competitions.
