Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Connolly's start to international cricket happened in 1963 but it was only from 1967 that he became a regular in the Australian side. Having been a support bowler for a while, his biggest moments came in the 1969-70 season when he stepped onto the role of a spearhead, singlehandedly carrying the burden of the bowling with elan. His best performances came against England and South Africa, both of whom he relished playing against. Despite being on 31, he had to bid farewell from international cricket in 1971 after being dropped midway through the Ashes series at home. He instantly retired from all forms of the game at the end of that season. Connolly had phenomenal numbers in First-class cricket with over 650 wickets to his name. His success wasn't restricted to Australia's domestic scene alone, as his successful stint at Middlesex showed.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
He began his career as a run-of-the-mill tearaway, but laconic Alan Connolly improved his fitness, truncated his run and broadened his repertoire to become the very model of a modern medium-pacer, and developed a reputation for utmost reliability and perseverance. He was capable of long, conscientious spells, and was adept at moving the ball regardless of its age. His best Test moments were in England in 1968 and South Africa in 1969-70, where he propped up weak attacks. Two seasons with Middlesex, however, wore the edge from his bowling, and his career was finished by the time he was 31.
