Conor Stephen Townsend (born 4 March 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Premier League club Ipswich Town.

[7] He made his debut on 29 October, playing in a 5–0 win against Ashington in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup, and was named man-of-the-match.

[14] He made his debut on 15 December, replacing Jay O'Shea after 85 minutes of a 1–1 draw at home to Burton Albion.

[18] After making his first appearance for Hull, Townsend moved on a month-long loan to Carlisle United on 2 September 2013.

[22] He made his debut on 10 August 2014, as Dundee United beat Aberdeen 3–0 in the opening game of the 2014–15 season.

[24] On 28 February 2015, Townsend joined Scunthorpe United on a month-long loan,[25] which was later extended to the end of the season.

Having signed a one-year contract extension with Hull in 2015,[28] Townsend was again loaned to Grimsby Town, joining for one month on 12 October 2015.

[38] Townsend made his debut for West Brom in a 4–3 victory over Norwich City, where he came off the bench at half time for Gibbs.

In a 3–2 victory against Luton Town, Townsend scored his first league goal for West Brom, which completed the comeback after being 2–0 down at halftime.
