Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

Connolly grew up in Turners Cross, Cork, and started playing football with College Corinthians when she was six years old.

Before focusing fully on football, she also played Gaelic football and helped Cork win the Munster U16 Ladies Championship in 2012.

She earned a four-year scholarship to Florida State University, where she studied sports management while playing NCAA soccer.

Her older brother Luke also played both association football and Gaelic football in Cork.

Connolly joined Lazio because she wanted a move that would help her develop as a player while also giving her a key role within a club's long-term project.
