SFC Debut: Oldham Athletic (A) 17th October 2009

The striker arrived at the club in October 2009 on a free transfer having most recently played in the top flight with both Wigan Athletic and Sunderland.

He has a prolific goal scoring record throughout his career, and previously worked with Saints manager Alan Pardew during West Ham's time in the Championship. He is also familiar to Chief Scout Stuart Murdoch and goalkeeper Kelvin Davis from a spell at MK Dons (formerly Wimbledon) between 2001 and 2003.

Connolly initially joined Saints on a contract until the end of the season, which was then extended for a further year in July 2010.

The 5' 9" front man has made some big money moves across English domestic football, and also played for Dutch giants Feyenoord early on in his career.

On the international front, Connolly has been capped over 40 times for the Republic of Ireland side, scoring on nine occasions, and was part of the Irish squad at the 2002 World Cup that got to the last 16.
