Career
Liverpool
Born in Liverpool, Merseyside, O’Donnell was 16 years old when he was spotted by Liverpool playing in a local amateur league for his village side 'Rainford Rangers'. He joined Liverpool in 2002, and moved up through the ranks, and was captain of the under-18 side. He was promoted to train with the first-team at Melwood in 2005. He was included in the Liverpool squad for the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship, and was given the number 5 shirt for the tournament.
Crewe Alexandra
O'Donnell featured in Liverpool's pre-season friendlies against Wrexham and Crewe and excelled on both occasions. He played well enough to impress Crewe to make a move to get him on loan. It was announced on August 7, 2006 that he would join Crewe on a six-month loan deal[1] and would wear the number 37 shirt.[2][3] His loan deal was extended in December 2006.[4] On 13 June, he signed for Crewe permanently for a fee rising to £300,000. He was released by Crewe in June 2010.[5]
Shrewsbury Town
After his release he went on trial with Rochdale[6] before he joined Shrewsbury Town on a 6 month deal in August 2010.[7] He was released at the end of December when his deal expired.[8]
Stockport County
On 27 January 2011 he joined Stockport County until the end of the season[9] and made his debut two days later in his new club's 4–0 defeat at Rotherham. [10]
In May 2011 he was offered a new one year deal by the club[11] which the club announced he had signed in July 2011.[12]
