Career

At club level, O'Connell first played Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with Cooraclare. He won a Clare U21AFC with the club in 2017. Lillis, however, has enjoyed his biggest club successes as a hurler with the Ballyea club and has won four Clare SHC medals.[1] He was selected at left corner-forward when Ballyea were beaten by Cuala in the 2017 All-Ireland club final.[2]

Lillis first appeared on the inter-county scene as a dual player with Clare at minor level in 2015.[3][4] He later progressed to the under-21 team and concentrated solely on Gaelic football.[5] Lillis was just 18-years-old when he made his senior team debut in 2016.[6]
