Connolly began his professional career with Bohemians in 2012 before making his breakthrough season with Shelbourne. A standout campaign earned him a move to Mick McCarthy’s Ipswich Town, before he returned to Ireland to enjoy a successful spell with Bray Wanderers.
His impressive performances at the Seagulls secured a move to Dundalk, who signed him ahead of their 2017 UEFA Champions League campaign. After catching the eye with the Lilywhites, Connolly returned to England as Wimbledon secured his signature for an undisclosed fee. He made 18 appearances for the Dons before joining Bradford City on loan, where he added a further 27 appearances.
In the summer of 2020, Connolly swapped the EFL for the SPFL, joining St. Mirren. During his season in Scotland, he scored six goals for the Saints before returning to the EFL with spells at Northampton Town and Morecambe, adding another half-century of professional appearances before completing a full-circle return to Bohemians in 2023.
Connolly once again enjoyed his football at Bohemians, making over 50 appearances during his second spell with the Dublin club. United supporters may remember him from Eamonn Deacy Park, where he scored the goal that knocked Galway United out of the 2023 FAI Cup semi-final.
The following season, in 2024, Connolly joined Glentoran for an undisclosed fee and has since made 54 appearances for the Glens.
