Newry City Manager Gary Boyle welcomed him to the club.

Michael has had a hugely distinguished and successful playing career thus far and is another massive addition for the club. Having completed my badges with Michael I have seen his work first hand and I know he will be a terrific fit for the club. I am delighted and really excited to be working with him.”
O'Connor is looking forward to the challenge. He commented “I am really looking forward to working with Gary, the existing coaches and the team. This will be my first year involved in the coaching side but it’s something that I have been looking to do for last year or two. It will be a big challenge for myself and Gary to replicate the job Darren has done for last 10 years but it’s a challenge I’m looking forward to. I would like to thank Gary as well for giving me this opportunity to work with him at a great club.”
