St Patrick's Athletic completed the loan signing of Conor Carty in February 2023 ahead of the 2023 season.

Wicklow native Carty joined the Saints on loan from EFL League 1 side Bolton Wanderers.

Carty previously featured for Dublin club St Francis as a youth, before joining Wolves in 2017.

After five years at Wolves, Carty joined Bolton Wanderers in June 2022 and has had loan spells in the English 22/23 season with English National League sides Oldham Athletic and Gateshead.

However Carty joined the Saints in February, to link up with former Wolves teammate Anto Breslin and former Bolton striker Eoin Doyle.

When joining the Saints, the Ireland underage international striker said:"I'm really happy to be here. Tim Clancy was in touch with Bolton and I had a zoom call with Tim and Alan Mathews, we had some good conversations and they won me over on the call, I'm really looking forward to getting started.

I also spoke to Eoin Doyle who was at Bolton previously, I know Anto Breslin too from my time at Wolves, they told me a lot about the club and the league, I'm looking forward to training and playing with Doyler and the rest of the squad.

The lads were saying that St Pat's have great supporters and get great crowds for the games home and away so I'm really looking forward to playing in those atmospheres and ill be doing my best to help the team and the club."

Carty made his first appearance for St Pat's off the bench in a 2-0 pre-season win against Sligo Rovers the day he officially joined the club.

Carty returned to his parent club at the end of the 2023 season. The 21-year-old scored 7 times in 41 appearances for the Saints, including a crucial winner against Dundalk, a huge goal to help clinch European football in a win at Bohemians and a cracker in our FAI Cup semi-final win in Cork.
