O'Hanlon has played for England as a schoolboy and youth team and recently received a cup on the pitch at Goodison for being the 'Young player of the Year'.   Basically a centre-half but can score goals when he goes up for corners etc...

In January 2003, he got traded temporarily to Falkirk in a deal between managerial mates (and ex-playing partners) Ian McCall ad David Moyes that saw the exciting Collin Samuel and Lee Miller visit Bellefield for a week of training with The Blues.

Sean was one of the reserves who won an extension to his professional contract in July 2003, giving him further opportunity to make the step up from the Reserves into the full Premiership squad.

However, that never happened, and it soon became clear that David Moyes didn't rate the lad, despite that fact that he has the size Moyes so craves in all his players.  So O'Hanlon was eventually farmed out initially on a month's loan to Swindon Town in January 2004.  That deal was extended for another month in February, and then converted to a permanent deal in March 2004, but rumours of a handy £150k changing hands were well wide of the mark: it was a free transfer.  

Despite almost two seasons nominally as part of the senior squad, Sean O'Hanlon left Everton without getting so much as a sniff of the substitutes' bench.
