FC Halifax Town are delighted to confirm the signing of striker Conor Carty, from League of Ireland Premier Division side Waterford.
A county level Gaelic footballer at Wicklow GAA, Carty spent time in the youth setups at Kilcullen AFC, Newbridge Town FC, and St Franics before moving to England to sign for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ academy. The striker signed his first professional contract with the club in April 2020, extending for a second year in 2021. In June 2022, Carty made the switch to Bolton Wanderers, joining up with their B team.
The striker made his senior debut for Bolton as a second half substitute in the EFL Trophy against Tranmere, netting the equaliser in the 2-2 draw. Whilst on the books at Bolton, Carty spent time on loan at Oldham Athletic and Gateshead in the National League, St Patrick’s Athletic, and Doncaster Rovers.
In January 2025, Carty returned to St Patrick’s Athletic, this time permanently. In August that year, the striker scored a penalty against Beşiktaş in the UEFA Conference League. After just one year with St. Patrick’s Athletic, Carty was bought by Waterford for an undisclosed fee. He made 14 league appearances for the club in the first half of the season. Carty has also been capped by the Republic of Ireland between under 15 and under 21 levels.
