Conroy consistently impressed throughout his time with the Celtic youth system. He made his first team debut on 11 December 2007, during Celtic's 4–0 defeat of Falkirk, playing at left back.[1]
Conroy was loaned to Partick Thistle for whom he played 15 games, all in the league, in the second half of 2009/10 season. He returned to Celtic once the deal had expired.
On 28 August 2010, Conroy joined Dumfries club Queen of the South on loan, scoring on his debut in the league game against Ross County on the same day.[2][3][4] This was the first goal of his senior career.
He became the fourth of the 2006 Scotland under 19 squad to play for the Palmerston Park club after Jamie Adams, Brian Gilmour and Scott Fox.[2]
His second goal for QoS was away in the league against top of the table opposition. Scoring from 18 yards after a Derek Holmes flick on, this was the only goal in the 1–0 win against Raith Rovers on 6 November 2010.[5] He scored again the week after when hitting QoS' second goal (again from 18 yards) after a Derek Holmes knock down in the 3-0 home win against Cowdenbeath at Palmerston.[6]
Conroy returned to Celtic after the weather ruined three chances to play a final game at Palmerston.[7] Conroy said, "I must say that I`ve really enjoyed those few months I`ve spent with Queen of the South. They're a good club and treat their players well. The fans have also been most supportive and I really appreciate that too. I would have liked to have stayed longer but the terms of the loan deal didn`t allow that. I`ve really enjoyed my spell at Palmerston and wish the club all the best for the future."[8]
Conroy was part of the Scotland under 19 squad that made it to the final of the 2006 European Championships played in Poland. Conroy played in the last four of Scotland's five games and scored the opener in the group phase win against Turkey.[2]
