Connaghan began his career at Celtic, but was released in 1963.[1] After a spell in junior football with Renfrew, he joined St Mirren in 1964, where he spent seven seasons and played over 100 league games. He re-joined Celtic in 1971 in the aftermath of Celtic's shock 4–1 loss to Partick Thistle in the Scottish League Cup final.[1] Connaghan played in Celtic's 1974 Scottish Cup Final winning side,[2] and also in the penalty shoot-out win over Rangers in the Drybrough Cup final later that same year.[1] However, he never fully established himself and included only 32 league games before his departure in 1977.[3]
After brief spells at Morton and Clyde, Connaghan returned to junior football in 1980 to play for Arthurlie, and he helped them reach the Scottish Junior Cup final, where they lost 1–0 to Pollok.[4] Following his retirement from playing, he spent many years associated with Neilston Juniors in a number of backroom roles.[4]
Personal life
Connaghan's son Denis also became a footballer.[5] He attended Holyrood Secondary School.[4]
