The winger joined us from Weymouth during last season but only went on to make four appearances due to injury issues cutting his campaign short.

O’Connell began his career in the youth ranks at AFC Bournemouth after joining their academy at ten years old.

He first signed a professional contract with the Cherries during the 2015/16 season but never made a first team appearance for the club.

Following his departure from AFC Bournemouth, O’Connell was picked up by national league outfit Torquay where he made over 25 appearances.

For the start of the 2022/23 season, O’Connell joined Weymouth and played a significant role in keeping the Terras up that season with 15 goal involvements.

O’Connell made the decision to switch to the red and white of Poole during last season and has now signed on until the end of August when he will depart to move abroad to explore ventures new.
