of the newly formed Scottish Professional Football League. In the same year, Doncaster was elected to the board of the European Professional Football Leagues. In the summer of 2015, Doncaster confirmed that the British bookmaker Ladbrokes would be the new sponsor of all Scottish Professional Football League competitions, the first sponsor of the top tier of Scottish football since Clydesdale Bank's deal ran out in 2013. Ladbrokes' deal, believed to be worth £2m per year over two years, is said to be "the biggest ever of its kind in Scottish football". In 2018, Doncaster secured sponsorship and broadcasting deals for the Scottish Professional Football League, announcing in January that Ladbrokes would be extending its title sponsorship until 2020, and in November making deals with Sky Sports, Premier Sports and the BBC, which he hailed as "a major increase on our current contracts" and "the largest ever injection of broadcast investment since the SPL was founded over 20 years ago". In March 2018, Doncaster joined the board of the Scottish Football Association, making him the first person ever to have sat on the boards of both the English FA and the Scottish FA. Doncaster served on UEFA's Legal Committee between 2018 and 2020 and was appointed as a member of UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body in June 2020.
