Tommy Conway Joins Middlesbrough from Bristol City

Middlesbrough has signed Scotland forward Tommy Conway from Bristol City for a reported fee of around £4.5 million, securing their primary target after he declined a new contract with the Robins. The 22-year-old, who had been training with Bristol's under-21s, expressed gratitude towards his former club in an emotional farewell message on Instagram. Over his career at Bristol City, Conway made nearly 100 appearances, scoring 25 goals, and was named the club's Young Player of the Year last season. Boro manager Michael Carrick expressed excitement about Conway's potential, noting his Championship experience and versatility in attack. The deal marks the fifth senior signing for Middlesbrough this summer as they aim to bolster their offensive lineup. Some Bristol City fans are disappointed, viewing Conway's move to Middlesbrough as a sideways step rather than a progression to a higher-level club.
