Club career

O'Carroll started his youth career with Home Farm[2] before joing Celtic's Youth Academy, he had featured for Celtic's reserve side for several years,[3] but did not play for the first team. In 2007 he had a loan spell with Ross County F.C. and, in July 2008, it was announced that O'Carroll had signed a one year deal with English League Two Morecambe.[4]


In the summer of 2009 O'Carroll had many trials,including one at Újpest FC, but he did not agree a deal with the Hungarian club. One month later he signed a one year deal with Airdrie United.[5] Due to financial cutbacks at the club, he left in May 2010. O'Carroll then went on trial at Raith Rovers. He scored his first goal for Raith as a trialist away to Forfar Athletic in a pre-season friendly on 13 July 2010. On 30 July he signed for Icelandic side Valur.[6]

In November 2010, after returning from Iceland O'Carroll signed a pre-contract agreement with Glenavon in Northern Ireland. He became eligible to play from January 2011.[2] In an Irn-Bru league cup match on the 20th of September 2011, O'Carroll scored a double-hatrick[7]
