Playing career edit
Galway United edit
Conneely (known as "Seamie" by Galway United fans) joined the club in 2007 from Mervue United. He completed a successful season in United's U21s before being given his senior competitive début against Shamrock Rovers at Terryland Park, replacing the injured Wesley Charles. This was Tony Cousins's last game in charge of Galway United.
Sheffield United edit
In January 2011 he signed an 18-month deal with English side Sheffield United.[3] In over a year after signing for the Blades, Conneely did not make a first team appearance, but he was a regular for the reserve team where he was the team captain.[4] On 9 March 2012 Conneely joined Alfreton Town on loan for a month.[5] He made his Alfreton début the following day, coming on as a substitute after only 16 minutes away against Lincoln City at Sincil Bank in a 1–0 victory for Alfreton Town.[6] After returning to Sheffield United, Conneely was released when his contract expired in May 2012.[7]
International career edit
Conneely was capped for Ireland at several youth levels from under-17s and made his under-21s début against Switzerland in October 2009.[8] He also represented Ireland in an under-23 team as part of the 2009–11 International Challenge Trophy.[9]
