Garreth joined AFC Bournemouth team-mate Wade Elliott in making the move to Turf Moor during the close season of 2005 after helping the Cherries to a high placed finish in League One during the 2004\/05 season.<\/P>
Unfortunately, they finished just a point short of the play-offs and O'Connor felt it was time to move on and enhance his career in the Championship.<\/P>
With his contract due to expire in July 2005, Burnley boss Steve Cotterill swooped and, just over a week after the end of the season, persuaded O'Connor to agree terms on a three-year contract with the Clarets.<\/P>
A skilful midfield player who netted a career-best 14 goals in the 2004\/05 season, O'Connor loves to get forward and he exploded onto the scene with the Clarets with six goals by mid-October - including four in as many games.<\/P>
Not only does the attack-minded player possess a powerful shot, but he is also a worthy candidate for set pieces and penalties, something which Burnley have lacked since the departure of Robbie Blake.<\/P>
The Dubliner - no relation to fellow Clarets midfielder James - was initially brought to English football by Bournemouth when they signed him from Irish League outfit Bohemians in the summer of 2000.<\/P>
After taking a season to settle into the pace of things in the Football League, he soon became a regular figure at Dean Court and scored one of the goals in Bournemouth's play-off final victory against Lincoln City at the Millennium Stadium in 2003.<\/P>","igoZ34ozY60=":"Garreth O'Connor","TwhW+K6dU5U=":"173cm","B3ioAMIbG6I=":"1584","e_index":2}; var playerStats={"e_index":2};
