Glenn McConnell (born 26 April 2005) is an Irish professional footballer playing as a forward for EFL League One club Cambridge United.

Career

Having joined the Cambridge United academy at under-9's level, McConnell progressed through the ranks, signing a first professional contract in May 2022 having finished the previous season on a youth-loan with St Neots Town.

On 30 December 2022, McConnell joined National League South club St Albans City on an initial one-month loan, later extended until the end of the season.

On 26 August 2023, McConnell made his senior debut for Cambridge United, replacing Jack Lankester in a 2–0 defeat to Leyton Orient.
