Former UCD and Cork City winger Daire O'Connor joins Hamilton Academical
Scottish Championship side Hamilton Academical have announced the signing of former UCD and Cork City winger Daire O’Connor.
The 27 year old joins the Accies on a two year deal from Glentoran for an undisclosed fee.
“We’ve been working on getting Dáire in since last season, so it’s great to finally get this deal done and get him into the squad,” manager John Rankin said, speaking to the club’s website.
“He’s a hard worker, likes the ball at his feet and to run at defenders so he’ll bring another bit of creativity to the team. You can see from his stats last season that he can also be clinical when given the chances so hopefully he can add a few goals to the side as well.”
O’Connor began his career with UCD and played four seasons with the Students before joining Cork City in 2019.
He spent two seasons with the Rebels before joining Cliftonville, he then had his first stint in Scotland with two years at Ayr United before playing the 2023/24 season with Glentoran in Northern Ireland.
