Lee O’Connor

Lee O’Connor of Tranmere Rovers was born in Waterford, Rep. Ireland on 28 July 2000 (age 24)

Lee O'Connor, a reputed footballer, was born in the Republic of Ireland on the 28th July 2000, making him currently 24 years of age. Primarily known for his role as a central defensive midfielder, O'Connor plies his trade for Tranmere Rovers. He stands at a decent height of 5ft 10in (1.78m) and maintains a professional athlete's weight of 11st 11lb (75kg). As he takes to the field, O'Connor can be recognised by the number '22' on his jersey.

O'Connor entered the football world at the professional level with his trainee stint at Manchester United in the Premier League back in July 2016. However, his career took a significant turn when he transferred to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership in September 2019. The transfer details were cloaked in secrecy, with the fee remaining undisclosed.

His time at Celtic was short-lived, as he was loaned out to Partick Thistle, another Scottish Championship club, in January 2020. The pattern of loans continued, with O'Connor moving to Tranmere Rovers in England's League Two in August 2020. O'Connor's debut season (2022 - 2023) for Tranmere Rovers marked his presence in the first team with as many as 31 appearances in league matches. The current season (2024 - 2025) indicates a continuation of his active participation, with O'Connor marking ten appearances, so far.

Eventually, in January 2022, what started as a loan transitioned into a full transfer, with O’Connor officially leaving Celtic to join Tranmere Rovers. The financials of the deal, just like his move to Celtic, remained undisclosed. With Tranmere Rovers, O'Connor has continued to show his footballing acumen and dedication. This holds true for the 2022-2023 season where he played in 31 league matches, and the current 2024-2025 season, where he has made 10 appearances to date.

Adding to his league contributions, he has also evidenced his commitment in other tournaments such as the League Cup 2024-2025 and EFL Trophy 2024-2025. In both tournaments, he showed his flexibility and readiness to contribute, with one start and two appearances as substitutes for Tranmere Rovers.
