Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 58th of 89 of the 89 centre-backs in the League One. At 28 Connolly is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 29.8, Connolly carries the 58th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 89. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 28, Connolly sits on 11.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Connolly's projected Rating — 29.8 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.
