"I don't want to go anywhere else and I think everyone knows that. The chairman (Acun Ilicali) knows it, Tan (vice-chairman Tan Kesler) knows it, and the gaffer. I think we're all kind of working together on that. So, yeah, I don't want to play my football anywhere else, and hopefully, you can see on the pitch how much I enjoy it here. I don't know why I would want to go elsewhere," Connolly told Hull Live.
"Hopefully, that'll get sorted. That's something that's kind of out of my hands at the minute. I'm just focusing on playing and I think I've got that relationship with the gaffer and obviously everyone at the club that hopefully we can come to some type of agreement soon."
"He gets me. I played my best football under the gaffer, both at academy level when I was playing with him and also now, so yeah, he's put a lot of trust in me. Like I said with the contract, I'd never, ever want to look elsewhere to play for any other club."
