Craig Ian Conway (born 2 May 1985) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Blackburn Rovers. He has made seven appearances for the Scottish national team.
Conway started his career with Ayr United before moving to Scottish Premier League side Dundee United in 2006. Ayr did not receive compensation for the deal until 10 months after he left. In 2011, he moved to Championship side Cardiff on a free transfer. On 13 September 2013 he signed for Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Football League Championship on a three-month loan. On 31 January 2014, Conway joined Championship side Blackburn Rovers on a 2 1⁄2-year deal.
Born in Irvine, North Ayrshire, Conway started his career with Caledonian Boys Club in Prestwick and later signed with Ayr United, making 61 league appearances for the 'Honest Men' and scoring seven times. Conway's good form alerted then-Dundee United manager Craig Brewster and he agreed a pre-contract deal with Conway to bring him to Tannadice, with the transfer completed on 1 June 2006, with compensation decided ten months later. Largely used as a substitute under Brewster, Conway started the majority of matches under Craig Levein and assisted more goals than any other United player in 2006–07. In late February 2007, Conway suffered a broken foot which appeared to end his season prematurely, although it later transpired he would be fit for the final two matches of the season. In fact, Conway appeared in the final four matches. Although playing at the start of the following season, it transpired that Conway was suffering similar issues and it was discovered that a bone graft was needed, ruling Conway out for the last three months of 2007.
