Matthew Connelly, born on 2 March 2003 (age 23), is a Scottish goalkeeper currently with Motherwell. His current market value is around £43,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His senior career has been shaped most clearly by Airdrieonians, where he made 11 league appearances across one season. That spell carries more weight in his profile than the smaller early moves around it, which are best kept in proportion.
There was also a short spell at Stranraer in 2022-23, when he made five league appearances. For a young goalkeeper, those outings mattered more than any tidy career summary would suggest, even if the numbers remain modest.
At Motherwell, Connelly has made three first-team appearances in total, all in cup football: one in the League Cup and two in the Scottish Cup during 2026-27. His most recent first-team outing came in Motherwell’s 1-0 win away to Hibernian on 16 May 2026, and he has been out of the matchday squad in recent weeks.
Connelly’s career to this point is that of a Scottish goalkeeper with senior experience at Airdrieonians, Stranraer and Motherwell, with Airdrieonians still the most substantial part of the story.
