ABOUT ME

Liam O'Connor

Liam O'Connor is a technically educated, intelligent midfielder who operates as the team's engine from deep. As a right-footed central midfielder, he excels as a deep-lying playmaker, distributing the ball with precision and threading passes that unlock compact defenses. His exceptional close control and range of passing allow him to receive under pressure, turn away from markers, and launch quick counters. A natural box-to-box presence, he combines defensive discipline with elite vision to dictate tempo and influence play across the pitch. His leadership on the field is already evident, and he has begun to captivate teammates with his composure and decision-making in high-pressure moments.

Off the ball, Liam is a relentless worker with a high level of stamina and a willingness to contribute in both directions. In 2025 he has taken on a leadership role as Vice-Captain of the U18 squad, contributing 5 goals and 12 assists in 14 league matches and taking responsibility for set-pieces with both power and finesse. While his physical strength and aerial duels are areas for development, his technical quality, set-piece execution, and evolving left-foot confidence point to a player capable of becoming a premier advanced midfielder at higher levels. His experience with the Republic of Ireland U17 team adds international exposure and a growing maturity that will aid his progression to senior football.
