He is an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winner.

McConnell competed with John Devine and Niall Morgan to be first choice goalkeeper for Tyrone.[1]

Early life and family

McConnell's older brother is Tyrone's All Star-winning goalkeeper of the nineties, Finbar McConnell.[2]

Playing career

In 1998, McConnell played alongside Stephen O'Neill in the MacRory Cup semi-final for Omagh CBS.[3]

Over the course of his career with Tyrone GAA, McConnell helped win three All-Ireland senior medals for the county.[4]

Retirement

McConnell announced his retirement from inter-county football in November 2013.[5][6]

When asked about this decision, McConnell said, "There is a big commitment required in order to stay performing at the top level and I feel the time is right to bow out and start a new chapter in my life. I have absolutely no regrets from my playing career with Tyrone, although, I suppose if I was a bit greedy, I would say that I felt that we could have won the All Ireland in 2009 and 2010."[7][8]

His retirement from inter-county football left Conor Gormley, Dermot Carlin, Stephen O'Neill and Seán Cavanagh as the only remaining links to the Tyrone team that won the county's first All-Ireland senior title in 2003.[9]
