Kevin O'Connor (born February 24, 1982) is a British born Irish professional footballer who is currently playing for Brentford F.C.. He is the club's longest serving player, having signed professional terms in 1999.
O'Connor has played for Brentford since signing professional terms as a 17 year old. His performances earned him recognition in the Republic of Ireland Under 21 squad. In the 2004-5 season he collected the club's "Most Improved Player of the Season" award.
O'Connor is one of the most versatile players in the Football League. He started his career as a striker, but was played on the right wing under former Brentford manager Wally Downes. Under Martin Allen, he was converted to a right-back, which many believe to be his best position. In the 07/08 season, following the arrival of right-backs, Ben Starosta and Craig Pead, O'Connor played predominantly in central midfield. He has also been known to fill in as a centre-back and left-back in emergencies.
O'Connor is Brentford's first-choice penalty taker, and has also scored several free-kicks in his career. As the 2008/09 season is his tenth as a Brentford player, O'Connor will be rewarded with a testimonial match at the season's conclusion.
