Dion John Conroy (born 11 December 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League Two club Crawley Town.
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. [3] On 29 February 2016, Conroy was rewarded with a new two-year contract until 2018. [4]
On 31 August 2016, Conroy joined National League side Aldershot Town on a six-month loan deal until January 2017. [5] A week later, Conroy made his Aldershot debut in a 1–1 draw against Boreham Wood, featuring for the full 90 minutes. [6] On 22 December 2016, after impressing with Aldershot, Conroy's loan was extended until the end of the 2016–17 campaign. [7] However, just over a month later, Chelsea terminated his loan deal, with many Football League clubs interested in purchasing the defender. [8]
On 27 January 2017, Conroy joined League One side Swindon Town on a two-and-a-half-year deal. [9] 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. [10] 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. [11] On 16 September 2017, Conroy ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament during Swindon's 3–2 victory over Stevenage, [12] ruling him out for several months. [13]
He was offered a new contract by Swindon at the end of the 2018–19 season. [14] In June 2019 he signed a new one-year contract. [15]
Following defeat to Port Vale in the EFL League Two play-offs, Conroy was released at the end of the 2021–22 season. [16]
On 30 June 2022, it was announced that Conroy had joined EFL League Two club Crawley Town on a two-year contract. [17]
Conroy is the younger brother of semi-professional footballer Jay Conroy. [18]
