Professional career

On 26 March 2015, O'Reilly was named an inaugural Premier League All-Star First Pick alongside UCC Demons teammates Kyle Hosford and Lehmon Colbert.[2] Three days later, he helped Demons create Irish basketball history by winning the Champions Trophy and adding to their undefeated 2014–15 season. With a 24–0 record, the team also won the League and National Cup titles. In addition, O'Reilly earned Champions Trophy MVP honours after scoring 25 points in the final.[3] He was later named both Player of the Year and Coach of the Year for the 2014–15 season.[4][5] In 2015–16, he helped Demons reclaim both the Premier League title and the Champions Trophy.[6]

On 22 June 2016, O'Reilly was appointed head coach of the Cheshire Phoenix for the 2016–17 British Basketball League season.[7][8] However, after a poor start to the season, he parted ways with the club in December 2016.[9]

In June 2019, O'Reilly joined Killorglin as player-coach for the 2019–20 season.[13][14]

O'Reilly was set to serve as player-coach of Neptune for the 2020–21 season[15] before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16][17] He returned as player-coach of Neptune for the 2021–22 season.[18]
