Town made the signing of Conor Townsend for an undisclosed fee from West Bromwich Albion in the summer of 2024.

The full-back came through the youth ranks at Hull City and had loan spells at Grimsby Town, Chesterfield, Carlisle United, Dundee United and Scunthorpe United while on the books with the Humberside club.

He moved to Scunthorpe permanently in January 2016 and scored his first goal for the Iron in a 6-0 win over Swindon Town in March later that year.

Having made a total of 88 appearances for Scunthorpe, Conor joined West Brom in July 2018 and made his debut for the Baggies in a 4-3 success against Norwich City. He played a pivotal role in the 2019/20 season as he featured 27 times in the league and helped the West Midlands side achieve automatic promotion to the Premier League.

In the 2023/24 season he played 46 times across all competitions for West Brom, registering four assists and 12 clean sheets in the league.
