With a height of 5ft 10in and a weight of 11st 11lb, his presence on the field is not insignificant. He typically sports the number 2 jersey.
At a young age in July 2016, O'Connor embarked on his professional journey, joining the esteemed ranks of Manchester United as a trainee. It was here he cut his teeth in Premier League football.

O'Connor's stay at Celtic, though brief, saw him serve a loan spell at Partick Thistle in the Championships.

Fewer than two years later, in January 2022, he made his move to Tranmere permanent, again for an undisclosed fee.

Anticipating the new season, the 24-year old will continue his service at Tranmere Rovers.
