BORN: March 1998
CLUB: Colorado Rapids
Remember When: He delivered a creative masterclass for Kenny’s Ireland under-21s in a 4-1 win over Sweden.
Bio: Connor Ronan was the quintessential number ten for Stephen Kenny’s Ireland under-21s but finds himself in a deeper roles these days – a deep role at the other side of the world.
Now playing for Colorado Rapids since 2023, Ronan is asked to use his passing range with the play in front of him. So far, it’s not going too badly.
The former Wolves, St Mirren (loan) and Grasshoppers (loan) man made a bright start for the Rapids with a series of assists and has played regular football ever since.
