[edit] Career

[edit] Youth and College

Conway played for powerhouse youth soccer club F.C Delco, and played four years of college soccer at Rutgers University.

[edit] Professional

Conway was drafted with the 28th pick of the 2000 MLS SuperDraft by San Jose Earthquakes. Conway spent his first years as a professional as the backup to Joe Cannon, but was given his chance at the starting position when Cannon left the Quakes in 2003 for France.

In 2000, he went on loan with the Bay Area Seals, playing four games for a 0.50 goals against average.^[1] Unfortunately, Conway suffered a broken right ankle in preseason and the Quakes were forced to find a replacement; that replacement came in the form of Canadian international goalkeeper Pat Onstad from the Rochester Raging Rhinos of the A-League, who went on to be named Goalkeeper of the year in MLS. The hard luck Conway remained a capable backup keeper for the Quakes, playing in the occasional US Open Cup games and when Onstad was injured or away on international duty. Conway has won 2 MLS Cup Championships.

After the 2005 season, Conway was traded to the MetroStars in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.^[2] In 2006, Conway finished best among all goalkeepers in MLS with a 1.00 GAA (goals against average) and compiled a record of 7 wins, 2 losses and 3 ties with 5 shutouts. In 2007, Conway compiled a record of 6 wins, 5 losses and 2 ties with 4 shutouts and a 1.10 GAA. He entered the 2008 season as the starting goalkeeper for RBNY. On June 29, 2009 Conway was released from the New York Red Bulls to free a spot for Senagalese goal keeper Bouna Coundoul.

In September 2009, Conway's MLS rights, which under MLS roster rules were still held by the Red Bulls even after his release, were traded to Chivas USA for a fourth-round pick in the 2011 MLS Superdraft.

[edit] Drug Controversy

On October 16, 2008, Conway, along with defender Jeff Parke, was suspended for 10 matches each and fined 10 percent of their annual salaries after testing positive for a banned performance enhancing drug. Conway and Parke tested positive for androstatriendione (ATD) and boldenone metabolites, two banned performance enhancing substances, after taking an over the counter supplement they purchased at The Vitamin Shoppe. The suspensions are currently the longest in MLS history^[3].
