Glenn McConnell (born 26 April 2005) is an Irish professional footballer playing as a forward for Cambridge United.

Career[edit]

Having joined the Cambridge United academy at under-9s level, McConnell progressed through the ranks, signing a first professional contract in May 2022 having finished the previous season on a youth-loan with St Neots Town.[3]

On 30 December 2022, McConnell joined National League South club St Albans City on an initial one-month loan,[4] later extended until the end of the season.[5]

On 26 August 2023, McConnell made his senior debut for Cambridge United, replacing Jack Lankester in a 2–0 defeat to Leyton Orient.[6] In December 2023, he suffered an ankle ligament injury that ultimately ruled him out for the remainder of the season.[7][8] Following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, McConnell signed a new three-year contract.[9]

International career[edit]

In November 2022, McConnell was called up to the Republic of Ireland U18 squad.[10]
