Richard Mark O'Donnell (born 12 September 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Championship club Rotherham United.
Having started his career with Sheffield Wednesday's youth system, O'Donnell progressed to the first team where 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.
Born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, O'Donnell started his career with Sheffield Wednesday's youth system. He was called up to first team at the start of the 2006–07 season and was an unused substitute for the League Cup match against Wrexham as back-up for Chris Adamson. O'Donnell joined Conference National club York City on 2 March 2007 on a work experience arrangement. He was recalled by Wednesday later that month, to provide cover injuries.
