Aidan Connolly, born on 15 August 1995 (age 30), is a Scottish left winger with Queen's Park, wearing number 11. At 5ft 5in (1.66m), he is a compact wide player whose career has been built on touch, movement and persistence rather than physical presence.
Connolly began at Queen's Park before moving into the full-time game with Dundee United. The early loan spells mattered: time away from the parent club, including at Brechin City and Raith Rovers, gave him senior football rather than just the usual promises about development. Those years helped set the shape of a career spent largely in Scotland’s second tier and its surrounding levels.
After leaving Dundee United, he had spells with York City, Dunfermline Athletic and Falkirk before returning to Raith Rovers. His most productive league season came with Raith in 2022-23, when he scored 10 goals in 33 appearances. That was a proper winger’s return, not just a tidy contribution hidden in the margins.
Connolly later returned to Queen's Park, bringing him back to the club where his senior career had started. In 2026-27 he has made seven appearances in all competitions and scored three goals, including two in the League Cup and one in the Scottish Cup. His current market value is around £191,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His career has moved through Queen's Park, Dundee United, loans that gave him early first-team grounding, and a run of established Scottish clubs. He remains an experienced wide option for Queen's Park.
