He played for Glamorgan from 1950 to 1961, missing 1956 when he decided to play in the Lancashire League.,
McConnon's selection for the Ashes tour of 1954-5 was controversial in that it meant that Jim Laker was not taken.^[1] As it was McConnon was injured during the tour and played little. He claimed 100 wickets in a season three times with 136 at 16.07 in 1951 being his best.
