Aaron Connolly

Aaron Connolly

Aaron Connolly was born in Galway, Rep. Ireland on 28 January 2000 (age 24)

Aaron Connolly, born on the 28th of January, 2000, in the Republic of Ireland, is known for his work as a forward, primarily in the role of a striker. Standing at 5 feet 8 inches tall (1.75m), and weighing in at 11 stone 6 pounds (73kg), Connolly has made a name for himself in the game of football.

In July 2016, Connolly took the leap from local club, Mervue United in Ireland, landing himself in the esteemed English Premier League at Brighton & Hove Albion, for a fee which remains undisclosed. While his debut season in Brighton, 2019 to 2020, saw him appear 24 times and knock in three goals, his next season there dropped to only 17 first team appearances and a couple of goals. In the 2021 to 2022 season, he managed a scant four first team appearances.

A change of scene was in the offing in January 2019, when he was loaned to Championship club, Luton Town. His stay there was brief, and he returned to Brighton in June the same year. His performance at Brighton after returning from Luton was much the same as before.

The lacklustre performance triggered yet another loan, this time to Middlesbrough, another club in the Championship in January 2021. He made 19 first team appearances there in the 2021 to 2022 season and added a couple of goals to his tally.

In July 2022, the globetrotter moved yet again, albeit on loan, this time to Italian Serie A club, Venezia. His stint here was limited, with only 5 appearances and no goals to boast of in the 2022 to 2023 season. In January 2023, he was on the move once more, finding himself on loan again, this time at Hull City in the Championship.

At Hull, over the course of two seasons—the 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024 seasons—he played 33 first team games and scored 10 goals. This stint secured him a permanent transfer to Hull City in August 2023, the terms of which, similar to his move to Brighton, remain confidential. Unfortunately, his stint was short-lived and in June 2024, Connolly was on the move again. His next destination remains unknown.
