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.[1] On 29 February 2016, Conroy was rewarded with a new two-year contract until 2018.[2]
Aldershot Town (loan)
On 31 August 2016, Conroy joined National League side Aldershot Town on a six-month loan deal until January 2017.[3] A week later, Conroy made his Aldershot debut in a 1–1 draw against Boreham Wood, featuring for the full 90 minutes.[4] On 22 December 2016, after impressing with Aldershot, Conroy's loan was extended until the end of the 2016–17 campaign.[5] However, just over a month later, Chelsea terminated his loan deal, with many Football League clubs interested in purchasing the defender.[6]
Swindon Town
On 27 January 2017, Conroy joined League One side Swindon Town on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[7] 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.[8]
