James Connolly (born 2 November 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays for Bristol Rovers, on loan from Cardiff City, as a central defender.[1]
Career
Early career and Cardiff City
Connolly began his career with Blackburn Rovers, signing a two-year scholarship contract with the club in June 2018.[2] Despite missing the majority of the 2019–20 season through an injury sustained in October 2019, Connolly had his scholarship extended by a further year[3] being released by the club at the end of the following season.[4] In June 2021, Connolly signed with Cardiff City.[citation needed]
Bristol Rovers (loan)
On 8 January 2022, Connolly joined League Two side Bristol Rovers on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[5] He made his senior debut later that day in a 2–1 FA Cup Third Round defeat to Peterborough United, and his league debut came on 22 January 2022.[6] Connolly formed a solid defensive partnership with fellow Championship loanee Connor Taylor, being praised for his composure on the ball and his ability to adapt to the physical demands of League Two football.[7]
