Refereeing career

In March 2007, Conroy was the official for a SPL match between Hearts and Aberdeen. He sent off Hearts player Laryea Kingston, who reacted by calling Conroy a racist. Conroy reported Kingston to the Scottish Football Association[2] and Kingston received a three-game ban.[3]

On 3 December 2011, Conroy awarded a penalty to Rangers in their home game against Dunfermline.[5] Sone Aluko, who won the penalty, was subsequently given a two-match ban for 'simulation'.[6] Conroy was subsequently assigned to referee lower division matches and opted to retire in March 2012.[7]
Medical career
He is also trained as a medical doctor. A former general practitioner, he is now lead medical practitioner for NHS Lanarkshire alcohol and drug addiction services.[8] He is also the owner /director of 'Workwell', providing occupational health services.[9][10]
