[edit] Career

Conway, who worked as a hairdresser part-time,[1] started his career with Ayr United and made sixty-one league appearances for the Honest Men, scoring seven times. Conway's good form alerted then-manager Craig Brewster and he agreed a pre-contract deal with Conway to bring him to Dundee United, with the transfer completed on 1 June 2006, with compensation decided a full ten months later. Largely used as a substitute under Brewster, Conway started the majority of matches under Craig Levein and assisted more goals than any other United player in 2006-07. In late February 2007, Conway suffered a broken foot which appeared to end his season prematurely,[2] although it later transpired he would be fit for the final two matches of the season.[3] In fact, Conway appeared in the final four matches. Although playing at the start of the following season, it transpired that Conway was suffering similar issues and it was discovered that a bone graft was needed, ruling Conway out for the last three months of 2007.[4]

The compensation figure was eventually reached in late April 2007, with Ayr announcing it was "60% higher than United's original offer" and included a 20% sell-on clause.[5]
