Aaron Anthony Connolly is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion and the Republic of Ireland national team.

Connolly was born in Oranmore, Galway and started his career in the youth team of Maree\/Oranmore FC in 2005. He joined Mervue United's youth team at the age of 11. In the summer of 2016 he joined Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion on trial, impressing enough for the club to offer him a two-year scholarship with the under-18 side. On 31 January 2019, Connolly joined League One leaders Luton Town on loan for the remainder of the 2018–19 season. On 27 August 2019, Connolly scored his first senior goal in a 2–1 away win over Bristol Rovers in the EFL Cup. He made his league debut for Brighton four days later, coming on as a substitute for Neal Maupay in the 66th minute of a 4–0 defeat away to Manchester City.

Connolly has represented the Republic of Ireland at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level.<\/P>","9EBD0BFF9766B31DEF99430639A2F292":"Brighton & Hove Albion","8DC362CCE065919BCF40467C0DE6A7E8":"","30A86FC0880FF75E":"174cm","2B5572269355781B0007104B7181FA88":"2000-1-28","FA149E2002A43ED77C24C62CDFF094A5":"0","C6E00DEB351621C4":"978564","09702F2B27619389F07D77F05427B135":"2023-8-2","4678B5349347B7EB":"","A16D5E6475634BB1C2248B183B7E41495B218039EB2EF0A3":"1","0A9B0394F31973591937C38F2F471911":"Brighton & Hove Albion,Hull City[on loan],Venezia F.C.[on loan],Middlesbrough[on loan],Brighton U23,Luton Town[on loan]","e_index":1};
