Tommy Conway scored his first goal of the season as Middlesbrough drew 2-2 with Cardiff City after trailing 2-0 at half-time.

Tommy Conway scored his first goal of the season as Middlesbrough came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Cardiff City at the Riverside on Saturday. The 24-year-old striker, recently converted to left winger by manager Kim Hellberg, equalised after Boro had fallen 2-0 behind at half-time.

Conway has been with Middlesbrough for two years and scored 13 goals in each of his previous two seasons. This season he has also contributed three assists. Will Lankshear, signed from Tottenham in the summer, has taken on much of the goalscoring burden with 11 goals so far.

Conway said he was pleased to score. 'I was buzzing to get on the score sheet. It's always nice to get off the mark,' he said. He acknowledged the emotional significance of the goal, having missed the play-off final and the World Cup through injury over the summer. He expressed his willingness to embrace his new role as a winger. 'I could have chucked my toys out of the pram saying I wanted to be the number nine and play through the middle, but that's not me. I just want to play and help the team in any way, shape or form,' he told BBC Radio Tees.
