Luca Connell
Luca John Connell (born 20 April 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder and is the captain of EFL League One side Barnsley. Born in England, he has represented the Republic of Ireland at youth international level.
He started his senior career with Bolton Wanderers before moving to Celtic, from whom he spent two loan spells at Queen's Park.
Connell was born in Liverpool, Merseyside.
Connell joined Bolton Wanderers at the age of nine. He joined the Under-18s as a first-year scholar for the 2017–18 season, and was promoted to the Under-23s for the 2018–19 campaign.
On 5 January 2019, Connell made his competitive debut in a 5–2 win over Walsall in the FA Cup third round as an 89th minute substitute replacing Luke Murphy. Two weeks later, he was named as unused substitute in a 2–0 league defeat to West Bromwich Albion. On 25 January, Connell started his first senior game in a 2–1 defeat to Bristol City in the FA Cup fourth round and assisted Mark Beevers' goal. He was rewarded with a league debut four days later in a 1–1 draw against Reading. Connell's scholarship contract was extended for a further year on 21 May 2019.
On 29 June 2019, Connell signed a four-year deal with Celtic for a fee of around £350,000.
Connell was loaned to Queen's Park in March 2021 and again in September 2021. He helped them achieve back to back promotions during his two loan spells (from League Two to League One and then from League One to the Championship).
On 3 June 2022, it was announced that Connell had been released by Celtic, despite having a year left on his contract. He left without having made a senior appearance during his three years with the club.
