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]
