Stephen O'Donnell, a Scotsman through and through, was born on 11 May 1992, making him a ripe and seasoned 32 years of age. A laurel in the crown of Motherwell's defence, O'Donnell operates primarily from the right back position. His 6 feet (1.83m) stature and weighing in at 11st 9lb (74kg) substantially contribute to his robust presence on the pitch, that has come to be associated with the number 2 jersey.
As reported by the footballing database Transfermarkt, his current estimated market value pedestrianly hovers around the £170k mark. His stint with Motherwell, unless otherwise intervened, is set to run its course till 31 May 2026, with just over a year remaining in his contract. Transfermarkt serves as the source of this information.
Tracing the roots of O'Donnell's professional career takes us back to August 2011, when he joined the ranks of Partick Thistle, competing in the Scottish Championship. From 2011 to 2015, O'Donnell was an instrumental figure for Partick Thistle, with a collective tally of 121 first team appearances and 9 goals to his name.
In a switch of scenery, July 2015 saw O'Donnell venture south of the border to join the Championship side, Luton Town. His two-year tenure in England culminated in 60 first team appearances, with a solitary goal to his credit.
Returning to his homeland, O'Donnell transferred to Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock in July 2017. His time at the club saw him rack up 101 first team appearances and net 5 goals over the span of three seasons.
Since his move from Kilmarnock to Motherwell in August 2020, O'Donnell has been a constant fixture in the Premiership side's league matches, having made 152 first team appearances as of the present 2024 - 2025 season, and scoring twice.
His domestic cup tally for the current 2024 - 2025 season reads as follows - a goal scored in his six starts for the League Cup and a single appearance as a substitute in the Scottish Cup. Traces of O'Donnell's indelible tenacity are scattered across his footballing timeline, culminating into a fruitful career.
