An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Connolly.
Judged on this season alone, Connolly graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 77th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the League One, on 4 clean sheets and 2.437 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 56th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the League One. At 28 Connolly is in his prime years, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Stockport County finished 3rd of 24 · an upper-table side
2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29.8, Connolly carries the 56th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 88. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
