O'Connor became the youngest ever Super Rugby debutant when he came off the bench for the Western Force against the Queensland Reds in Week 10 of the 2008 Super 14 competition. He completed the season's final three matches running on at inside centre.

In 2008, during his Australian debut, O'Connor scored three tries and helped Australia beat Italy 31--8. In October 2009 O'Connor "took home the Emirates Western Force 2009 'Rookie of the Year' award and was also named the Wallabies 'Rookie of the Year' at the 2009 John Eales Medal dinner.

In 2010 O'Connor played "11 of the 13 Western Force games and recorded 104 points. He also played 13 of Australia's 15 Tests, and was the 2010 Tri Nations Series' top try scorer together with Mils Muliaina.[citation needed]

At the end of the 2011 Super Rugby season O'Connor signed a two year contract with the Melbourne Rebels. His Rebel teammates will include Waratahs fullback Kurtley Beale, Western Force centre Mitch Inman and 2011 Rebels Danny Cipriani Nick Phipps, and Richard Kingi.
