[edit] Career
[edit] Leicester City
O'Neill came through the youth academy at Leicester alongside the likes of Joe Mattock, Max Gradel, Ashley Chambers and Andy King and was part of the side that won the Premier Academy League in the 2006/07 season. He continued to feature for Leicester's academy and reserves side for the next season before being promoted to the first team squad in July, 2008 making regular appearances in their pre-season games. He was named as a substitute for the first time in a League Cup win over Stockport County on August 12, 2008, however he was unused on that night.[1]
On August 29, 2008 just a few days after his 17th birthday, O'Neill signed his first professional contract, a deal that will see him stay at Leicester until 2011.[2] He then made his debut for Leicester on September 2 against Hartlepool United in Leicester's 3–0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy win.[3]
