Club career

Bristol City

Conway joined the youth academy of Bristol City at the age of 7. He began his senior career on loan with Yate Town in 2019–20, before joining Bath City on loan in October 2020.[3] Aged 19, he made his professional debut with Bristol City in a 3–1 Championship loss away to Coventry City on 5 April 2021.[4] He scored his first professional goal in a 4–1 away loss to Millwall on 1 May 2021.[5]

Conway broke into the first-team at the start of the 2022–23 season, and was rewarded with the EFL Young Player of the Month award for August 2022.[6] He ended the season with 12 goals in all competitions.[7]

Conway scored an equalising goal in a 2023–24 FA Cup third round match against West Ham United at London Stadium, then scored the only goal of the replay at Ashton Gate.[8] He again ended the season with 12 goals to his name.[7] He was also given the club's Young Player of the Year award.[9]

Middlesbrough

[edit]

On 16 August 2024, Conway joined Middlesbrough for £4.5 million.[10]

International career

[edit]

Conway was born in Taunton, England. He qualifies to play for Scotland through his paternal grandfather, who was born in Stirling.[11][12][13][14]

He was first selected for the Scotland under-21 squad in September 2022.[15] He scored his first international goal on 18 June 2023, in a 1–1 friendly home draw against Norway.[16]

On 4 June 2024, Conway received his first call-up to the Scotland senior national team, being included in the provisional squad for UEFA Euro 2024 by manager Steve Clarke, following withdrawals by Lyndon Dykes and Ben Doak due to injury.[17][18] He made his full international debut three days later, coming on for Lawrence Shankland in the 63rd minute of a 2–2 friendly draw against Finland.[19][20] He was included in the final squad for the aforementioned tournament in Germany,[21] but did not make an appearance as Scotland were eliminated at the group stage.
