Richard Mark O'Donnell (born 12 September 1988) is an English professional footballer. He will become a free agent when his contract with Blackpool expires on 30 June 2025.
Having started his career with Sheffield Wednesday's youth system, O'Donnell progressed to the first team, for which he was largely used as an understudy goalkeeper. He played 20 times for Wednesday between 2006 and 2012, earning 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.
