Club career[]

Chelsea[]

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.[2] On 29 February 2016, Conroy was rewarded with a new two-year contract until 2018.[3]

Aldershot Town (loan)[]

On 31 August 2016, Conroy joined National League side Aldershot Town on a six-month loan deal until January 2017.[4] A week later, Conroy made his Aldershot debut in a 1–1 draw against Boreham Wood, featuring for the full 90 minutes.[5] On 22 December 2016, after impressing with Aldershot, Conroy's loan was extended until the end of the 2016–17 campaign.[6] However, just over a month later, Chelsea terminated his loan deal, with many Football League clubs interested in purchasing the defender.[7]

Swindon Town[]

On 27 January 2017, Conroy joined League One side Swindon Town on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[8] 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.[9] 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.[10] On 16 September 2017, Conroy ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament during Swindon's 3–2 victory over Stevenage,[11] ruling him out for several months.[12]

He was offered a new contract by Swindon at the end of the 2018–19 season.[13] In June 2019 he signed a new one-year contract.[14]

Conroy is the younger brother of semi-professional footballer, actorJay Conroy.[15]
