Diarmuid O'Carroll (born March 16, 1987 in Killarney, Ireland) is a football player currently a free agent.
A product of the Celtic Youth Academy, O'Carroll plays as a striker. He had featured for Celtic's reserve side on several occasions,[1] but did not play for the first team. In 2007 he had a loan spell with Ross County F.C. and, in July 2008, it was announced that O'Carroll had signed a one year deal with Morecambe.[2] But he was released at the end of the season. Modelling In July 2007 it was rumoured that O Carroll had been offered a lucrative modelling contract with Irish retail giants, Dunnes Stores. In an interview with Celtic View earlier this year, the young striker confirmed the story and decided against taking the job in order to concentrate on his football. However the player did appear in a poster campaign for Celtic leisure wear in early 2008.
Charity Work O Carroll is also noted for his support of good causes. In the summer of 2008 he took part in a 10k fun run to raise money for local charities in the Killarney area.
TV Appearances As a boy O Carroll was famous locally for he's love of Mr. Freeze's ice pops. When he was 9 years old he was chosen out of hundreds of youngsters to take part in a commercial for the product. This wouldn't be O Carrolls last appearance in front of the camera. He also took part in a docu-drama for Irish broadcaster TG4, detailing his first year as a professional football in Scotland.
