Connor is a goalkeeper who joined Everton as a scholar from Tranmere Rovers in July 2009.

Born in Wales, the young stopper is also eligible to play for Northern Ireland, but has already turned out for The Dragons at both Under-16 and Under-17 level.

He was Everton Under-18s' regular goalie in 2010/11 and was part of the side which secured Academy league glory at Fulham at the end of that campaign.

Connor battled Adam Davies for a regular spot between the sticks for Alan Stubbs' reserve team in the 2011/12, but both men were released by the Blues in May 2012.
