Connor Mahoney

Connor Anthony Mahoney (born 12 February 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right winger for EFL League Two club Barrow.

He played for Accrington Stanley and Blackburn Rovers before joining AFC Bournemouth in 2017, and spent time on loan to Barnsley and Birmingham City.

Initially starting out at Burnley and Blackburn Rovers,[4] Mahoney moved to Accrington Stanley, where he progressed through the academy and began his senior career.

[8] In his first few weeks at the club, he was an unused substitute in several Championship matches,[9] and, at the age of 16 years and 337 days, became the third youngest Blackburn Rovers debutant when he replaced Lee Williamson late in the 5–0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City.

Although Blackburn were relatively strong in attacking areas, manager Owen Coyle rejected offers to take Mahoney on loan, claiming he would get his chance in the second half of the season.

[24] The clubs could not agree a fee, so the Professional Football Compensation Committee ruled that Bournemouth should pay an initial £425,000 and included provision for appearance-based additional payments and for a sell-on clause of 20% of profit resulting from any future sale.

[28] Having started the match at home to Sheffield Wednesday on 27 October in place of the injured Jacques Maghoma, Mahoney scored his first career goal just before half-time when he "cut in unchallenged from the left to fire in a right-footed shot past Cameron Dawson into the far roof of the net"; Birmingham went on to win 3–1.
