Ryan Conroy (born 28 April 1987) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a left-winger for Peterhead. He can also play as a left-back. Conroy has previously played for Celtic, Queen of the South, Partick Thistle on loan, Dundee, Raith Rovers and Airdrieonians. Club career Celtic Conroy was born in Vale of Leven, Scotland. He consistently impressed throughout his time with the Celtic youth system and ahead of the 2005–06 season, he signed his first professional contract. In 2007, Manager Gordon Strachan considered calling up Conroy into the first team as cover. He made his first team debut on 11 December 2007, during Celtic's 4–0 defeat of Falkirk, playing at left back. After making his debut, Conroy said he hoped he could earn himself a longer-term deal with Celtic. On 6 July 2009, Conroy signed a new deal with Celtic for another year. The arrival of the returning Charlie Mulgrew led Conroy to state that he thought Mulgrew's arrival would not affect his chance of making a breakthrough at Celtic. Partick Thistle (loan) Conroy was loaned to Partick Thistle for whom he played 15 games, all in the league, in the second half of the 2009–10 season. He returned to Celtic when the deal had expired on 5 May 2010. Queen of the South (loan) On 28 August 2010, Conroy joined Dumfries club Queen of the South on loan, scoring on his debut in the league game against Ross County on the same day. This was the first goal of his senior career. He became the fourth of the 2006 Scotland under-19 squad to play for the Palmerston Park club after Jamie Adams, Brian Gilmour and Scott Fox. His second goal for QoS was away in the league against top of the table opposition. Scoring from 18 yards after a Derek Holmes flick on, this was the only goal in the 1–0 win against Raith Rovers on 6 November 2010. He scored again the following week, hitting QoS' second goal (again from 18 yards) after a Derek Holmes knock down in the 3–0 home win against Cowdenbeath at Palmerston. Conroy returned to Celtic after the weather ruined three chances to play a final game at Palmerston. Conroy said, "I must say that I've really enjoyed those few months I've spent with Queen of the South. They're a good club and treat their players well. The fans have also been
