Aberdeen star's Bond link as he dates Sean Connery's granddaughter

Dante Polvara has been spotted on social media spending time with Sean Connery's granddaughter, Natasha. Aberdeen star Dante Polvara celebrated Scottish cup glory, with a bond girl on his arm. The midfielder was a hero at Hampden as the Dons pulled off a shock Scottish cup victory over Scotland, and by his side was none other than Natasha Connery, granddaughter of Sir Sean Connery- the original James Bond. ‌ Polvara came off the bech during the match and calmly scored a penalty in the shootout as Aberdeen won 4-3. ‌ The 25-year-old American signed for Pittodrie straight from New York City FC's youth sides. After a loan spell in the US with Charleston Battery, he enjoyed a breakthrough 2023/24 season, making 40 appearances and scoring five goals. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Sir Sean was the first actor to bring 007 to life on the big screen, starring in classics like Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever. He also bagged an Oscar for The Untouchables and was knighted in 2000 for his contribution to film. Adding another twist, former Rangers chairman Sir David Murray revealed that Connery secretly invested £1million into the club. ‌ Murray wrote in his book Mettle: "For years, Sean and I would share a catch-up call every weekend to chat through the football and we would inevitably kick off with Rangers. "After all, he had put £1million into the club which no one knew about at the time or even since. "I was raising £50million in 2004 and Sean asked if he could invest. "I told him that it was football, that there were no guarantees and he should get professional advice but he was adamant - he wanted in."

Hibs midfielder joins Mansfield Town for undisclosed fee

Hibs midfielder Nathan Moriah-Welsh has joined Mansfield Town on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee. The 23-year-old joined Hibs in January 2024 and went on to make 40 appearances during his time at the Club. Moriah-Welsh made 24 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring one goal, which came against Peterhead in the League Cup. The Guyana international will now return to England, where he has spent the majority of his playing career having come through the ranks at AFC Bournemouth before featuring for Newport County prior to joining Hibs. On his departure, Hibs Head Coach David Gray commented: 'First of all, I would like to wish Nathan all the very best for his future career. He is good professional, and he has been brilliant to work with. 'Unfortunately, we couldn't provide Nathan with as much game-time as he would've liked, due to the number of options we have in the middle of the pitch. Hopefully, he will be able to kick-on and embrace this new challenge at Mansfield Town.' Hibs Sporting Director, Malky Mackay commented: 'It was important that we found the right club and got the right deal for Nathan to make sure he continued to progress his career. He is terrific young man, a top professional and a credit to his family. 'He leaves with the very best wishes from myself and from everyone at the Football Club and we wish him the best of luck going forward.' Moriah-Welsh told the Mansfield Town website: Nathan said: 'Mansfield was the club that stood out to me the most. I've had chats with the gaffer [Nigel Clough] and Simon [Clough] and everything seemed to make sense so it's the right move at the right time to go and push on. 'Having chats with Will Evans and Aaron Lewis, good things were said about the club. 'I've played here previously in the past and it's always been a tough game so all those things added up to a good move in the end. 'I always want to improve as a player and a person. I'm an energetic midfielder who wants to get up and down and likes a tackle.' Like this: Like Related
