Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Connolly.
Judged on this season alone, Connolly graded 26 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the League One, on 8 goals and 4 assists in 21 appearances (0.626 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 26). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 42nd of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the League One. At 26 Connolly is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.5 reflects that trajectory.
Connolly is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
8 goals in 21 appearances (0.38 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.57 per appearance).
With a Rating of 40.4, Connolly carries the 42nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.63 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~10), then tapers with age. At 26, Connolly sits on 9.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Connolly's projected Rating — 40.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
