OC signed in the summer of 2023 after departing ways with Carlton Town. O’Connor went on to make his 1st Team debut vs Ashby Ivanhoe (a) 1st August 2023.With over 200 professional appearances in the football league and over 200 career goals the newest recruit is sure to be a big hit with the supporters.
From playing for the likes of Luton Town, Mansfield Town and Scunthorpe United to scoring a play off winner for Newport County, the man has done it all, too many former clubs to list ‘OC’ was a man Ball & Thomas were always after; “OC optimises everything we want this football club and our teams to be about. He is the perfect role model for every player in the dressing room, the way he looks after himself, the way he trains, and how hard he works in games. There isn’t any I’ve seen that can finish better and his movement in and around the 18 yard box is frightening! In truth, we thought it was a long shot that we would be able to tempt him to this level of football having the career he has had so far, but luckily he has bought into what we are looking to achieve at Eastwood. He’s the final piece in our forward line and I can’t wait to see how well he links up with the other lads. I’m sure this type of signing will really make some noise and hopefully goes a long way to show what DT and myself are looking to build.”
The forward netted fifteen goals in his debut season picking up Managers Player at the end of season awards.
