Andrew Conway: Life After Rugby & Exciting New Beginnings
It’s been just over a year since Ireland rugby legend Andrew Conway hung up his boots and announced his retirement from professional rugby. This marked a significant milestone for Conway and his wife Liz, who are now embracing another exciting chapter in their lives.
A Return to Dublin
In the coming months, the Conway family will be making a big move. Andrew, Liz, along with their son Caelan and daughter Hailey, are preparing to relocate from Castletroy back to Dublin. This move signifies a return to the city where Andrew began his rugby journey.
From Limerick to Dublin: A Journey of Growth
When Andrew moved to Limerick in 2013 at just 21 years old, it was a pivotal moment in his life. This relocation marked a period of personal growth and self-discovery for Conway. Speaking to the Irish Independent, he acknowledged, “It took me a full year to find myself and grow up when I moved away from home. And once I did that, those experiences actually really stood to me. If it doesn’t break you, hopefully it makes you in many ways.”
Retirement & A New Focus
Life post-retirement has brought exciting new opportunities for Andrew.
“There [are] so many other things going on in my life with the kids, planning to move back to Dublin… I’m excited about the next stage of what I’m going to do professionally for the next medium term, or 10-15 years,”
he said.
Beyond Rugby: Exploring New Avenues
Andrew has embraced new challenges, undertaking a PhD in human performance and innovation at UL.
He is also gearing up to launch a new business venture in the New Year, demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit.
