Stephen O'Donnell, born on 11 May 1992 in Scotland, plies his trade primarily as a right back and is currently playing for Motherwell in the number 2 jersey. Standing at an imposing 6ft (1.83m) tall and weighing in at 11st 9lb (74kg), the defender certainly brings a commanding presence to the backline.
As of present, O'Donnell is valued at approximately £85k, as stated by Transfermarkt. His career kicked off in earnest with Partick Thistle back in August 2011, where he stayed for four seasons.
During his debut season in 2011 - 2012, O'Donnell took to the field in 31 first team appearances, securing two goals for the partisans of Partick Thistle. This trend of solid player-time continued throughout the subsequent seasons, with a marked uptick in 2014 - 2015 where the defender notched an impressive five goals across 34 first team appearances.
July 2015 saw O'Donnell bid farewell to the Jags and venture southwards to join Luton Town in League One. His time in Bedfordshire was equally respectable, with a steady stream of first team appearances and a solitary goal amidst the Hatters' League One run-in season 2016 - 2017.
2017 saw O'Donnell return to his home soil, signing with Kilmarnock in the Premiership. Over the following seasons, O'Donnell became a regular on the pitch, accruing a decent goal haul in the process. His most recent change of scenery brought him to Motherwell, also in the Scottish Premiership, back in August 2020.
At Motherwell, O'Donnell continues to maintain his consistent performance, both in number of appearances and goals scored. The current season quotes O'Donnell at ten first team appearances, signalling an ongoing vital role within the squad.
Moreover, O'Donnell represented Motherwell in the League Cup tournament in the 2025 - 2026 season, starting in four matches, coming on as a substitute in another two, and even managing to find the back of the net. His performance during the Scottish Cup in the 2024 - 2025 season was also noteworthy, coming on as a substitute and leaving his mark on the game.
