Tommy Conway is a hard-hitting Striker for the Bristol City squad, born on the 6th of August 2002, in a country that seemingly has little interest in the beautiful game, England. Standing 6ft tall and weighing just over 10 stone, he's not one for a pie and Bovril at half-time. He favours the number 15, both on the pitch and backstage, his strip crumpled in a hastily discarded pile.
Despite his misplaced place of birth, Tommy has managed to find his feet in the Scotland national team. Though he may have been too easily influenced by the Sunday pub leagues of his homeland, he managed a stint in the Championship league. During the 2023-2024 season of his blossoming career, he played 39 matches and wasn't too shy in front of goal, netting 10 balls over 27 starts. He was the manager's choice for a substitute appearance 12 times and was rewardingly not just confined to polishing the bench.
Tommy's appeared more times in a Bristol City shirt than he has his own bathroom mirror. Fast approaching his fifth season, he's began to plant some roots. His influence in the previous campaigns is clear to see. The 2024-2025 season, however, has seen him gather a fine layer of dust with zero appearances. Perhaps he's saving himself for a rainy day.
A glance to his past reveals more. The 2023-2024 season had Tommy making himself known, skimming across the grass 39 times to fire 10 successful strikes. In the season prior, he carved out 34 appearances and slotted nine past unsuspecting custodians. The 2021-2022 season saw a modest four outings, but his 2020-2021 debut season offered a glimmer of what was to come, with five appearances peppered with one goal. Certainly not a tally to retire on, but enough to catch an eye or two.
