[edit] Career
He started his career in 2005 with UCD, where club fans dubbed him 'sammon of college', before a number of impressive performances saw him snapped up by fellow Eircom League side Derry City in December 2007.[1] Despite not being able to hold down a regular first-team place at the Brandywell, he attracted interest from a number of Scottish clubs who had been made aware of his potential by former Candystripes manger John Robertson. After a short trial, he signed for Kilmarnock in July 2008 for an undisclosed fee.[2]
He earned his first call up to the Republic of Ireland U-21s for the qualifying game against Portugal U-21s on September 7, 2007.[3]
His single goal knocked Derry out of the 2007 FAI Cup with a deft near post finish at the Brandywell.[4]
Nominated for 2007 PFAI Young Player of the year, but lost out to Mark Quigley of St Patrick's Athletic F.C..[5]
Connor also finished as Top Goalscorer in the 2008 season's Football League Cup of Ireland for Derry City.
