Club career

[edit | edit source]

Chelsea

[edit | edit source]

After a spell with Fulham, Conroy joined Chelsea in 2008 as an Under-13. Conroy quickly progressed through the youth ranks with the Blues and guided Chelsea to FA Youth Cup and Under-21 Premier League victories in 2014.[3] On 29 February 2016, Conroy was rewarded with a new two-year contract until 2018.[4]

On 31 August 2016, Conroy joined National League side Aldershot Town on a six-month loan deal until January 2017.[5] A week later, Conroy made his Aldershot debut in a 1–1 draw against Boreham Wood, featuring for the full 90 minutes.[6] On 22 December 2016, after impressing with Aldershot, Conroy's loan was extended until the end of the 2016–17 campaign.[7] However, just over a month later, Chelsea terminated his loan deal, with many Football League clubs interested in purchasing the defender.[8]

Swindon Town

[edit | edit source]

On 27 January 2017, Conroy joined League One side Swindon Town on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[9] A day later, Conroy made his Swindon debut in a 1–0 away defeat against local rivals Bristol Rovers, replacing Lloyd Jones in the 90th minute.[10] On 11 February 2017, Conroy was given his first start by manager Luke Williams, in Swindon's 1–0 away defeat against Bury, featuring for the entire 90 minutes.[11] On 16 September 2017, Conroy ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament during Swindon's 3–2 victory over Stevenage,[12] ruling him out for several months.[13]

He was offered a new contract by Swindon at the end of the 2018–19 season.[14] In June 2019 he signed a new one-year contract.[15]

Following defeat to Port Vale in the EFL League Two play-offs, Conroy was released at the end of the 2021–22 season.[16]

Crawley Town

[edit | edit source]

On 30 June 2022, it was announced that Conroy had joined EFL League Two club Crawley Town on a two-year contract.[17]

Conroy started all three of Crawley's League Two play-off matches at the end of the 2023–24 as Crawley were promoted to League One after a 2–0 victory over Crewe Alexandra in the final.[18][19]

On 27 June 2025, the club announced he had signed a new two-year deal.[20]
