Tommi Dylan Brooklyn O'Reilly (born 15 December 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League One club Shrewsbury Town, on loan from Premier League club Aston Villa.[1]

Early life

O'Reilly joined the Aston Villa academy at the age of seven years-old. He is a fan of the club and attended the club's successful Wembley Stadium trip for the 2019 EFL Championship play-off final against Derby County on the terraces.[2]

Career

Early career and debut

O'Reilly was part of the Aston Villa side which won the 2021 FA Youth Cup.[3] He signed his first professional contract with Aston Villa in March 2022.[4]

During the 2021-22 season he was called up to first-team training by manager Steven Gerrard,[5] and featured in friendly matches for the club.[6] That season, he was included in Villa match-day squads and named as a substitute for matches in the Premier League without making his debut.[7] He made his debut in the EFL Trophy against AFC Wimbledon in August 2022.[8] The following season he captained the Aston Villa side in the competition.[9]

On 14 December 2023, O'Reilly made his first team debut in a 1–1 UEFA Europa Conference League draw away at Zrinjski Mostar.[10] On 19 January 2024, O'Reilly signed a new contract with Aston Villa.[11]

Loan moves

On 1 February 2024, O'Reilly signed for Primera Federación club Real Unión, a sister club of Aston Villa managed by former Aston Villa U21 manager Iñigo Idiakez, on loan until the end of the season.[12] O'Reilly made his debut from the bench in a 0–0 draw against Lugo on 3 February.[13] O'Reilly's season was curtailed by injury, and he went onto make only 2 appearances at the Spanish club.

On 11 July 2024, O'Reilly signed for EFL League One club Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan.[14] On 10 August 2024, O'Reilly made his English Football League debut in a 1–0 defeat to Stevenage.[15]

International career

Born in England, O'Reilly is of Irish descent. He was called up to a training camp for the Ireland U19s in August 2021.[16]

Style of play

A diminutive but skillful midfielder, he has been nicknamed "Philly" or "Fodes" by his Aston Villa academy youth teammates because of a perceived similarity to Phil Foden in his playing style. He has also been nicknamed "Tommi Wilshere", after Jack Wilshere, in his time at Villa.[17]
