Chris Conway is a Gaelic football player from Laois in Ireland.^[1][2]

He plays for the Arles-Kilcruise club. He formerly played at centre forward for Laois and in 2003 was part of the Laois team that won the Leinster Senior Football Championship title^[1] for the first time since 1946,^[3] before departing the inter county scene after a disappointing 2006 season.

Chris emerged on to the scene in 1996 as part of the Laois minor team that won the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship title.^[1]

However possibly his finest hour came in 2003 when his club Arles-Kilcruise won the Laois Senior Football Championship title under the captaincy of his brother, Paudge.

Chris is also making a name for himself off the field and the Knockbeg College schoolteacher guided his “Alma Mater” to a historic 2005 All-Ireland Senior Colleges title.

Chris finished his inter-county career with the Laois football team at the end of the 2007 season.
