He appeared twice in the Scottish Premier League for the club against Dundee United in March and May 2007. A broken leg set Connolly's career back and despite winning a contract extension in the summer of 2008, the player was released in the January 2009 transfer window.
Connolly joined Ayr United from Motherwell on loan on 16 January 2009 and made his debut the following day in a league match away to Stirling Albion. He signed a permanent contract for the club during the summer of 2009.
On his release from Ayr in the summer of 2010, Connolly had a trial period with Clyde but was not offered a contract.
Connolly signed for Junior side Auchinleck Talbot in October 2010 and was part of their 2010–11 Scottish Junior Cup winning team at the end of that season. He moved on to Kirkintilloch Rob Roy in February 2012.
