Richard O'Donnell began in the entertainment industry as a professional ventriloquist. He ran away with the Sells & Gray 3-ring tent circus at the age of 15, sleeping in the back of the elephant truck that transported their sole elephant, Bessie. O'Donnell was eventually forced to return home to finish high school, earning a scholarship to attend the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts where he studied theatre alongside classmate Kevin Bacon.
Having started his career as a junior with Sheffield Wednesday he progressed to the first team where he was largely utilised as an understudy keeper in his years at Hillsborough. He played 22 times for The Owls between 2006 and his departure in 2012, however he earned a significant amount of first team appearances elsewhere as he spent time on loan with York City, Buxton, Rotherham United, Oldham Athletic, Grimsby Town, Alfreton Town and Macclesfield Town. He was released in the summer of 2012 and joined Chesterfield. In 2013, following limited first-team appearances, he signed a one-year contract at Walsall.
Earlier today (27th June), the Club announced the signing of the Bantams newest goalkeeper, Richard O'Donnell.
O’Donnell has penned a two-year deal at the Northern Commercials Stadium after leaving Northampton Town on a free transfer.
