Venezia loan signing Aaron Connolly casts doubt on Brighton future | OneFootball

Venezia loan signing Aaron Connolly has cast doubt on his future with Brighton.

Connolly is adjusting to a new environment after agreeing a loan move from Brighton to Venezia, and the Galwegian has suggested he might have played his last game for the Premier League club.

Speaking to Irish Football Fan TV, the Galwegian hinted he was keeping company off the park that was hindering his career and his wellbeing.

“A lot of people know why I haven't kicked on and I know myself. That's why this move to Italy was vital, just to get away from the circle I was in back in England," says Connolly.

“Physically and mentally, I haven't felt this strong in a long time. I wish this version of myself right now had showed up at Middlesbrough.

“I've got a good group of people around me now, a good group of mates. At the minute I'm probably the forgotten man in Irish football and if I kept associating with people I'd been associating with before, I would have completely gone off the scale.

“Now I think I've turned that around and hopefully people will be able to see that with performances. The people that are in my life right now, they are only helping. They don't want anything from me."
