Stefan Ramone Sewell O'Connor (born 23 January 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Arsenal. He had a loan spell with League Two club York City during the 2015–16 season.

Club career

O'Connor was born in Croydon, London.[2] He joined Arsenal's academy in 2010 having previously been at Crystal Palace,[3] and signed scholarship forms with the club in the summer of 2013.[4] After impressive performances for the Arsenal U21s and for the U19s in the UEFA Youth League, he signed his first professional contract for the club on 10 October 2014.[5] On 9 December 2014, O'Connor made his debut for Arsenal in a UEFA Champions League match against Galatasaray, replacing Mathieu Debuchy with 13 minutes to play[6] as Arsenal won 4–1 away to finish second in their group.[7]

On 26 November 2015, O'Connor joined York City of League Two on loan until 6 January 2016.[8] He made his debut two days later after starting York's 5–1 home defeat to Accrington Stanley, in which he conceded a penalty that was scored by Josh Windass.[9] He started at centre-back, but was moved to right-back later in the match due to an injury to Jordan Lussey,[10] and continued to play for York in this position.[11] He finished his loan at York with four appearances.[12]

International career

O'Connor was capped for the England national under-17 team, playing two matches for them.[citation needed]

Style of play

He plays predominantly at centre-back, but can also play at right-back.[11]
