Career

[edit]

Connolly started his career with Motherwell and made his first-team debut in a Scottish Cup tie against Airdrie United on 6 January 2007. He appeared twice in the Scottish Premier League for the club, playing against Dundee United in March and May 2007.[1] A broken leg set Connolly's career back, and despite winning a contract extension in the summer of 2008, he was released during the January 2009 transfer window.[2]

Connolly joined Ayr United from Motherwell on loan on 16 January 2009 and made his debut the following day in a league match away to Stirling Albion. He signed a permanent contract with the club during the summer of 2009.[3][4]

After his release from Ayr in the summer of 2010, Connolly had a trial period with Clyde but was not offered a contract.[5][6][7]

Connolly signed for Junior side Auchinleck Talbot in October 2010 and was part of their 2010–11 Scottish Junior Cup winning team at the end of that season.[8][9] He moved on to Kirkintilloch Rob Roy in February 2012.[10]
