As far back as he can remember, Tommy Conway has always wanted to score goals. Since he first started kicking a football, Bristol City’s man of the moment has always been a striker, priding himself on his finishing and that moment when the ball hits the back of the net, “there’s no better feeling”, as he describes.
Certainly his record for the Robins first-team speaks for itself this season - eight appearances in the Championship and League Cup, five goals and two assists, each finish ever so slightly different. The boy clearly knows how to find space in the area and gaps between those two posts.
Brought up on a diet of Robin van Persie, Olivier Giroud and Harry Kane, Conway admits they’re different types of striker to him but they all share an insatiable desire to trouble the scoresheet on a regular basis.
