Tommy Conway had just celebrated his ninth birthday when Nahki Wells scored his first goal in the Football League during his debut season for Bradford.
Since then, the experienced frontman has won two promotions with Bradford and Huddersfield, played in League One, the Championship and the Premier League across five different clubs with 121 goals to boot.
It took nine years for their worlds to collide when Wells agreed a deal to join the Robins during the January 2020 transfer window. By this point, Conway was already part of the furniture in the academy having joined City at the age of seven - just one of the many thousands hoping not to be chewed up and spat out by the ruthless nature of trying to turn professional.
