Aiden O'Brien signs new two year deal

Woking Football Club is delighted to announce that Aiden O'Brien has signed a new two-year contract extension.

The forward, 31, has signed a new deal which runs until the end of the 2026/27 season.

A Millwall academy product, O’Brien would go on to make over 200 appearances for the club, scoring 44 goals and helping his side to promotion from League One via the play-offs in 2017. In September 2017, he was called up to the senior Republic of Ireland squad, eventually making his debut in a friendly against Poland in Wroclaw in September 2018, where he scored in a 1-1 draw.

Since departing Millwall, O’Brien has had spells at the likes of Sunderland, Portsmouth and Shrewsbury Town, where he was loaned to Gillingham and Sutton United, before joining Shelbourne in August 2024. He made ten appearances, scoring two goals as the Shels won the League of Ireland, before returning to England after departing on the 31st December.

O'Brien has made 13 appearances for the Cards since arriving at the start of 2025, scoring four goals, including a debut strike at Yeovil Town.

“Aiden's great for the Club”, said Director of Football, Jody Brown.

“[Aiden has] the right personality, the right level of experience, and the right performance levels”.

“The one concern was Aiden’s injuries, but we have seen how hard he works, and we’ve seen his output when fit - I’m sure we haven’t seen him fully fit yet, so that's exciting in itself”.

“We got a third party medical provider to carry out the medical and give us expert feedback and we are all very confident that Aiden is in good condition - and going to be an exciting part of our vision and our Clubs' identity on and off the field”.

“He puts high expectations on himself and is driven to do well - that will positively impact everyone around him”.
