Matthew Thomas Connolly (born 24 September 1987 in Barnet) is a footballer who plays as a defender. He currently plays for Queens Park Rangers having moved there from Arsenal on 2 January 2008.
He started his career as a youth at Arsenal, eventually making the reserve side. In September 2006 he was made captain of Arsenal's reserves.[1] He made his first-team debut for Arsenal on 24 October 2006, starting a Carling Cup third round match against West Bromwich Albion.
On 23 November 2006 Arsenal announced he was going on loan to Bournemouth until 2 January 2007.[2] In total he played seven games for Bournemouth (five in League One and two in the FA Cup), and scored his first goal at senior level in a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, on 5 December 2006. He returned to Arsenal as scheduled at the start of January 2007,[3] and came on as substitute for Armand Traoré against Liverpool in the League Cup Quarter-Finals on 9 January.
On 9 July 2007 Arsenal announced he would be spending the whole of the 2007-08 season on loan to Colchester United,[4] although he eventually was recalled midway through the loan on 2 January 2008.[5] The same day, his transfer to Queens Park Rangers was announced, after finding first team chances too difficult.[6]
In the meantime, in November, he received his first call-up to the England U-21 squad, where he joined Arsenal teammate Theo Walcott.[7]
