Tranmere defender O'Connor signs two-year deal

Lee O'Connor played one game for the Republic of Ireland in 2019

Tranmere Rovers defender Lee O'Connor has signed a new two-year contract.

The 24-year-old, who can also play in midfield, has played 210 games for Tranmere since joining initially on loan from Celtic in 2020.

O'Connor appeared 47 times last season as Rovers finished 20th in League Two and he is the latest player to resolve his future after Andy Crosby was made permanent manager.

"There is still a lot we want to achieve as a team and as a club for the fans," he told the club's website.

"Last season didn't go as we had planned or hoped, so I wanted to stay in order to hopefully put that right."
