Connor McAvoy (born 16 February 2002) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defender for National League club Wealdstone.

Career

Fulham

Born in Chertsey,[2] McAvoy began his career in the youth setup at Staines Town; whom he represented from the age of 4 until 8,[4] before he joined Fulham in summer of 2010.[3] In July 2018, he signed a two-year scholarship contract at Craven Cottage,[3] and after impressing in the youth setup, he signed his first professional contract in July 2019, barely a year after penning his scholarship deal.[5]

On 1 October 2019, McAvoy played the full 90 minutes in the EFL Trophy Group Stage for the U21s during a 1-0 away defeat Milton Keynes Dons.[6] That would be his only appearance during that year's EFL Trophy campaign; his next three appearance would come in the following campaign, as he played against Cambridge United,[7] Peterborough United[8] and Burton Albion respectively.[9]

In October 2021, McAvoy was loaned out to National League side Wealdstone for a month,[10] after impressing during the first month of the deal; the loan was extended until January 2022,[11] then until the end of the campaign on 10 January 2022.[12]

On 31 January 2023, McAvoy joined Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle on loan until the end of the season,[13] but after making six appearances for The Jags, he ruptured his medial ligament against Greenock Morton on 11 March[14] and returned to parent club, Fulham five days later.[15]

On 14 September 2023, whilst still recovering from injury, McAvoy signed a new deal with The Cottagers until at least the summer of 2025, with an option of a further year.[16] He returned from the injury in December 2023, but this was after McAvoy had suffered numerous set backs in his recovery; which included three surgeries after the screws came loose in his knee.[17]

On 30 August 2024, McAvoy returned to Scotland as he was loaned to Championship side, Ayr United until the end of the season.[18] Having failed to make an appearance, he was recalled in January 2025, subsequently returning to National League side Wealdstone on loan for the remainder of the season.[19] In June 2025, it was announced that McAvoy would be leaving Fulham upon the expiry of his contract.[20]

Wealdstone

On 1 August 2025, McAvoy returned to National League side Wealdstone on a permanent deal following two loan spells.[21] After suffering an injury in pre-season, McAvoy made his third debut for the club on 1 October, in a 2–0 win away at Brackley Town.[22] He scored his first goal as a Wealdstone player three days later, in a 1–1 draw against Altrincham.[23] He started the 2026 FA Trophy final, going on to convert his spot kick in an eventual 4–2 penalty shoot-out defeat against Southend United.[24]

International career

McAvoy qualifies for Scotland through his father, Gordon; who was born in Paisley.[17] He has represented the country at under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-21 levels.[25]
