Connor McAvoy (born 16 February 2002) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Scottish Championship club Ayr United, on loan from Premier League club Fulham.[4]

Career

[edit]

Born in Chertsey,[2] McAvoy began his career in the youth setup at Staines Town; whom he represented from the age of 4 until 8,[5] before he joined Fulham in summer of 2010.[3] In July 2018, he signed a two-year scholarship contract at Craven Cottage,[3] and after impressing in the youth setup, he signed his first professional contract in July 2019, barely a year after penning his scholarship deal.[6]

On 1 October 2019, McAvoy played the full 90 minutes in the EFL Trophy Group Stage for the U21's during a 1-0 away defeat Milton Keynes Dons.[7] That would be his only appearance during that year's EFL Trophy campaign; his next three appearance would come in the following campaign, as he played against Cambridge United,[8] Peterborough United[9] and Burton Albion respectively.[10]

In October 2021, McAvoy was loaned out to National League side Wealdstone for a month,[11] after impressing during the first month of the deal; the loan was extended until January 2022,[12] then until the end of the campaign on 10 January 2022.[13]

On 31 January 2023, McAvoy joined Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle on loan until the end of the season,[14] but after making six appearances for The Jags, he ruptured his medial ligament against Greenock Morton on 11 March[15] and returned to parent club, Fulham five days later.[16]

On 14 September 2023, whilst still recovering from injury, McAvoy signed a new deal with The Cottagers until at least the summer of 2025, with an option of a further year.[17] He returned from the injury in December 2023, but this was after McAvoy had suffered numerous set backs in his recovery; which included three surgeries after the screws came loose in his knee.[18]

On 30 August 2024, McAvoy returned to Scotland as he was loaned to Championship side, Ayr United until the end of the season.[4]

International career

[edit]

McAvoy qualifies for Scotland through his father, Gordon; who was born in Paisley.[18] He has represented the country at Scotland under-17, Scotland under-18, Scotland under-19 and Scotland under-21 levels.[19]
