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>","71450CE0B6A0CA84C96E1AF31F3CA129":"2000-1-28","55115EEDFFE75225FD0E1787F70FC7CB":"2025-7-7","6F2A70628678CF42F2F15CA1EF3BF952":"","57C2653B331A7DDA9BB5C336225EACEB":"0","4EFF01CD2A1AA8474DF07D17EF0164A9":"Ireland","D21B7B52C3154356":"1","68B71F6A7FE5F18E":"","32E266777F4D5C3EAAE5984CDAE82227":"Millwall F.C.","826BE2C466376227EC096659909FEBC6":"Millwall F.C.,Sunderland A.F.C.,Hull City A.F.C.,Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.,Hull City A.F.C.[on loan],Venezia FC[on loan],Middlesbrough F.C.[on loan],Brighton U23,Luton Town F.C.[on loan]","7850BFBCDDAACDE9":"Aaron Anthony Connolly","65809D335DC33AB4":"535","0DC344593C67F298":"978564","EB70E23140D61D3403104435C4316058":"999","57C2653B331A7DDA71EF0009D79DD15B8B218E4BC397458C":"1","e_index":4};
