After riding in point-to-points, O'Brien moved to England in 2004 in the hope of getting more rides.

In 2005, O'Brien had his first big race win on Captain Corelli in the Tommy Whittle Chase at Haydock Park.

In 2007 and 2008, O'Brien rode McKelvey in the Grand National, coming second to Silver Birch in 2007.^[2] At the 2009 Cheltenham Festival, O'Brien rode Silk Affair to a win in the Fred Winter Juvenile Novices' Handicap Hurdle.^[3]

O'Brien is a regular jockey for Philip Hobbs and Peter Bowen and is based in the South West of England.
