Career
Connors played football for hometown club Stockton, before opening his Darlington career playing at outside left in a 3–1 defeat at home to Lincoln City in the Third Division North in February 1948. He soon resumed his preferred position at left half, but had to compete with Guy Wharton and Norman Parsley for the place. In just over four seasons with the club, he made 65 league appearances, before moving on to Midland League club Corby Town in 1952.
