Connor Mahoney

Initially starting out at Burnley and Blackburn Rovers, Mahoney moved to Accrington Stanley, where he progressed through the academy and began his senior career. He made his first-team debut on 28 August 2013 in a 2–0 League Cup defeat against Cardiff City, and his League Two debut three days later as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 defeat at home to Burton Albion. In all, Mahoney made six appearances for Stanley's first team.

Blackburn Rovers

Mahoney signed for Blackburn Rovers on 13 December 2013, initially as a member of their development squad. In his first few weeks at the club, he was an unused substitute in several Championship matches, 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. When he turned 17, he signed his first professional contract with the club. His progress stuttered, as happens with young players, and he was not initially given a squad number for the 2015–16 season. Towards the end of that season – more than two years after his Blackburn debut – Mahoney was given his League debut in the starting eleven for a 1–1 draw with Nottingham Forest on 19 April 2016, and kept his place for the next match. Manager Paul Lambert was impressed with Mahoney's self-belief and his natural ability with both feet. In the 2016–17 season, Mahoney played twice in the EFL Cup, but in January 2017 was still awaiting his next league outing.…

In January 2014, he was called up by England U17 for the first time. Mahoney made his England U17 (and his only appearance for the side) debut, in a 2–1 loss against Belgium U17 on 30 January 2014. Eight months later, in September 2014, Mahoney was called up by England U18. Four days later, he made his England U18 debut, in a 2–0 loss against Italy U18.

As of end of 2025–26 season

Mahoney was born in Blackburn, Lancashire, where he attended Witton Park High School. His brother Dom is also a footballer.
