Connors played football for hometown club Stockton,[4] 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.[5] He soon resumed his preferred position at left half,[6] but had to compete with Guy Wharton and Norman Parsley for the place.[7] In just over four seasons with the club, he made 65 league appearances,[1] before moving on to Midland League club Corby Town in 1952.[3]
