About Gary O'Neill

Gary played youths football at Tolka Rovers before signing his first professional contract at Bohemians in 2000. He made his league debut against Shamrock Rovers on the 14th August and spent three years at Dalymount Park without ever establishing himself as a first choice striker.

In 2003 O'Neill signed for Waterford United and did well for the Blues before suddenly quitting the club for unspecified reasons.

He returned to league football in 2004, spearheading the Dublin City attack in a dramatic season that culminated in relegation from the Premier Division. Gary scored eight league goals and was nominated for the 2004 PFAI Player of the Year award.

In December 2004 Gary joined Shelbourne and made his Shels league debut against UCD in March 2005. He netted seven times in 18 appearances in 2005. The following year Gary scored ten goals in 30 appearances and won his first career medal as Shels won the 2006 league title.

On January 3rd, 2007 Gary left the now financially troubled club and moved across the city to join St Patrick's Athletic where he spent two seasons before signing for Sporting Fingal in January 2009.

Fingal gained promotion from the First Division that year and also won the FAI Cup, beating Sligo Rovers 2-1 in the final at Tallaght Stadium with O'Neill scoring the winning goal. In 2010 he scored a further twelve goals for the Ravens and was due to play for them in 2011 until the club folded in February.

In February 2011 Gary signed for Shamrock Rovers.
