Conrad Joseph Logan (born 18 April 1986) is an Irish football goalkeeper currently playing for Rotherham United on loan from Leicester City. He was educated at St. Eunan's College in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, and is a former Irish youth international.

Although not a regular goalkeeper, Logan is currently Leicester’s longest serving player, having been with the club since joining the academy in 2001.[2] He is the first Leicester player to play at the new Wembley Stadium on 26 May 2008 (while on loan at Stockport County),[3] winning the League Two play-off final after a 3-2 win over Rochdale.[4]

Career

Leicester City

Logan (far right) as a substitute for Leicester City on 23 January 2010. He spent majority of his career at the club on the bench.

Born in Ramelton, County Donegal, Logan began his career in 2001 in the youth system at Leicester City.[5] He had two loan spells at Boston United during the 2005–06 season.[6][7]

Logan, who is known for his big ruddy cheeks, made his senior debut for Leicester in a 2–0 League Cup win over Macclesfield Town on 22 August 2006.[8] After a series of poor displays from first-choice keeper Paul Henderson at the start of the 2006–07 season, Logan made his league debut in a 0–0 draw against Colchester United on 23 September.[9] He was dropped from the first-team squad after conceding four goals against Sheffield Wednesday on 2 December 2006.[10] Nonetheless, he signed a new three-year contract on 21 December.[11] When Nigel Worthington was appointed caretaker manager, Logan regained his place in a 2–1 defeat to Norwich City on 14 April 2007.[12] He played in the club's last five league games of the season, earning two clean sheets but conceding eight goals, helping Leicester avoid relegation.

Loan moves

On 6 August 2007, Logan was made available for loan for the forthcoming season,[13] and he signed a season-long loan with Stockport County on 9 August.[14] In the 2007–08 season, Logan played 38 games for Stockport and helped the team to a League Two play-off final on May 26 where they met and defeated northwest rivals Rochdale 3–2.[4]

Logan joined Luton Town on loan for six months in the 2008–2009 season, providing competition for Luton goalkeeper Dean Brill.[15] He saved three penalty kicks in a 0–0 FA Cup draw against Altrincham on 21 November 2008, which Luton won 4–2 on penalties.[16] Logan helped the club to another penalty shootout win against Brentford in the Football League Trophy second round on 7 October 2008.[17] His form prompted the club to make an offer for his loan to be extended by a further month.[18] However, this was rejected by Logan's agent,[19] and he missed out on the 2009 Football League Trophy Final against Scunthorpe on 5 April 2009,[3] which Luton won 3-2.[20]

On March 27, Logan rejoined Stockport County on a one week emergency loan as cover for injured keepers Owain Fôn Williams and Lloyd Rigby.[21] He extended his stay with Stockport by a further week on 3 April in where the clubs win against crewe on the penultimate game guaranteed safety in league 1.[22]

On August 5, Logan joined Rotherham United on loan until January 2012. Logan made his debut for the millers in the 1-0 win over Oxford United on August 7.

Return to Leicester City

Despite a succession of loan moves, Logan refused to give up on his career at Leicester and vowed to fight for his place in the 2009–10 season.[23] Tim Flowers, who was previously coach at the club, felt that "to be fair to Conrad, he has also done well."[24] Logan signed an extended contract with Leicester until the summer of 2012 on 16 February 2010.[25] He finally played his first league game for the club since 2007 against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough Stadium on 6 March 2010, conceding one goal in a 2–0 defeat.[26] Coming on as a substitute for injured first choice keeper Chris Weale, Logan was still happy with life at the club.[27] With Leicester already qualified for the Championship play-offs, Logan was finally given his first start against Middlesbrough on 2 May 2010, saving a penalty kick and keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 win.[28]

Logan played 7 games for Leicester in 2010-11 season, before on 18 February 2011, he joined Bristol Rovers on a one month loan deal.[29] Logan then extended his loan deal until the end of the season, after impressive displays, including two penalty saves in as many games against Huddersfield and Notts County.[30]

International career

Logan being capped from U14 all the way through to U19 but has been overlooked for the U21 and senior Republic of Ireland national football team. Despite the snub, Logan is determined to play for his country.[31]
