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>","3653565C44D0522B57B14E876735C3FA":"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]","07FC4394D7BF000AA5BFC85E2D0D6D63":"Ireland","58D6F117B0E852FD":"174cm","0FA2227E78AF1E09":"Aaron Anthony Connolly","07457F0B881B82B22AE30767A70DD3E1":"","249186B187931B83":"","32F0494A6A8D9C00F8184D20C089D458":"2000-1-28","A16C626949206183":"978564","5B991257A722E1E0F74ECF7A8C1C2945":"","72FFC7073AEDD99FBC6698239F961CC0":"2024-9-24","B13BBD17F9E21D375893DBD6F2FC7F72":"0","E630D11720E4B295":"1","2A56C1DBE121525F":"Sunderland A.F.C.","F8A44A36F46FF4E4":"Aaron Anthony Connolly","50F712C5D7EA2EE5C48850A5D641D459":"Hull City A.F.C.","B30DC6D2B47145B0561823D5497E0EB0F2ED3572A53AF87A":"1","B30DC6D2B47145B087D8B1C6299DD194":"0","556D73B2C9A2AD6A1BFA53519B08D73A":"24","e_index":0};
