Conor Paul Brann (born 27 June 2003) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for League of Ireland First Division club Cork City.

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Galway native Brann began playing football with local side Salthill Devon, then moved to the academies of League of Ireland clubs Athlone Town, Limerick and Galway United.[2][3]

Galway United

[edit]

Having impressed in the academy, Brann began training with the Galway United first team in 2021.[4] His first involvement in a first-team match day squad was on 27 May 2022, when he was an unused substitute in a 1–0 defeat to Cork City at Eamonn Deacy Park.[5]

Swindon Town

[edit]

On 1 September 2022, Brann joined EFL League Two club Swindon Town as a free-agent, having been released by Galway United.[6][7][8] He was an unused substitute on 22 occasions for the first team but failed to make his debut before suffering a serious knee injury in his final season and he departed the club in April of 2024 after being released at the end of his contract.[9] After being released, he then trained with Cork City for several months on a non-contract basis, during which time he considered quitting football before being convinced to continue by his father.[10][11]

Swindon Supermarine loan

[edit]

On 29 September 2023, he was loaned out to Swindon Supermarine on a three month long loan deal.[12][13] Brann impressed during his loan spell, being named the club's Player of the Month for December 2023[14] and saw his loan deal extended by a month until the end of January 2024.[15] He made a total of 19 appearances in all competitions before being recalled from his loan spell.[16][17]

Cork City

[edit]

On 9 December 2024, Brann signed for newly promoted League of Ireland Premier Division club Cork City ahead of their 2025 season.[18] He was initially signed as a second choice goalkeeper behind loanee first choice keeper Tein Troost in the pecking order.[19][20] He made his debut on 4 July 2025 after Troost's loan deal ended, featuring in a 3–1 loss away to Shelbourne at Tolka Park and keeping the first choice keeper spot until the end of the season.[21] On 15 August 2025, Brann signed a new long-term contract with the club.[22][23] He made 16 appearances in all competitions in his first season with the club as they were relegated to the League of Ireland First Division, though they did make the 2025 FAI Cup final which Brann featured in as they were defeated 2–0 at the Aviva Stadium by Shamrock Rovers.[24][25]

International career

[edit]

In February 2022, Brann was named in a training camp for the Republic of Ireland U19s, but ultimately was never capped in a game for the side.[26] Having not been capped at any youth international level and playing in the second tier of the League of Ireland, Brann was a surprise call-up to the senior Republic of Ireland squad in May 2026 for their friendly games against Qatar and Canada.[27][28]
