A mature Convey looks to take the next step

Those early days, the baby face and pimples, the mop of hair and the uncertainty surrounding the much-hyped player, all seem so long ago. It's an image that Bobby Convey, now 23, still has difficulty shedding. With the Gold Cup and Copa America on tap for the national team this summer, it was supposed be a busy season for Convey who had hoped to be a part of the team, but a long-term knee injury and subsequent surgery has forced him to the sidelines. With his club team Reading guaranteed of staying in the Premiership, it was a decision he made with management's blessing to go under the knife, in the hope that he'd be ready for the start of next season.
