Aidan Connolly, born on 15 August 1995 (age 31), came through at Dundee United, where he was given an early taste of first-team football but had to do much of his growing up away from the main stage. Loan spells at Brechin City and Raith Rovers mattered in that respect: senior football, less polish, and the weekly tests that quickly sort out young wide players.
After leaving United, Connolly spent time in England with York City before building the bulk of his career back in Scotland. Raith Rovers became an important staging post for him, alongside spells with clubs including Dunfermline Athletic, Falkirk and Airdrieonians.
His most productive league season came at Raith in 2022–23, when he scored 10 goals in 33 appearances. That was the clearest return of his career: a wide attacking player doing useful work over a full campaign rather than appearing in patches.
Connolly’s career has been shaped by early loans, steady movement around the Scottish game, and a strong individual season at Raith. His market value is around £191,000, according to Transfermarkt.
