Former Chelsea and Swindon Town defender joins National League side after leaving Crawley Town

Former Crawley Town skipper Dion Conroy has found a new club.

The 30-year-old defender has joined Wealdstone on a permanent deal, subject to FA and National League clearance.

He joins The Stones having spent the last four years at the Broadfield Stadium where he wore the captain’s armband, leading the club to promotion into League 1 at Wembley in 2024.

The move reunites Conroy with Gary Waddock, having previously played under The Stones boss during a loan spell at National League side Aldershot Town in the 2016/17 season.

On the signing of Conroy, Chairman Rory Fitzgerald told the club’s website, said: “We are delighted to welcome Dion to Wealdstone, a player that we have been tracking since last season.

“Following the departure of Deon Woodman, we wanted to bring in a ready-made replacement and Dion (Conroy) brings a wealth of experience, strong leadership qualities and a proven track record of success. We believe he will be an excellent addition to the squad.”
