Atlanta means family, and no one feels that more than ATL UTD 2 forward Jackson Conway. Born in England, the Conway family moved to America when Jackson was one and a half years old. He keeps his connection to his home country and his family through soccer, though. His grandfather played professionally, and the sport runs through his blood. Getting to share the game with his family who are here in Atlanta means a lot to Conway.
“Every kid wants to make their parents proud and that’s what I’m trying to do. They come to every game. Hopefully they’re proud of me, seeing me go through that level, starting as a three or four year old then signing my first contract, scoring my first goal and seeing every game,” Conway explained with a smile.
