'I won't get as many touches but I'll score goals'

Middlesbrough forward Tommy Conway says he "enjoys" his new role in boss Rob Edwards' tactical set-up.

The Scotland international scored twice in a 2-2 pre-season draw with Deportivo on Saturday after taking up a more central position than he occupied under former boss Michael Carrick last season.

But it's a style of play the 22-year-old believes could become fruitful for him over the course of the new season.

"Since day one, Rob came in and wants a pressing team with high energy up the pitch," Conway told BBC Radio Tees.

"There were elements of play in the old style where I would tend to come out to the left side a little bit more but that was just the style of play.

"This is different. Maybe this is me more in the box where I don't get as many touches but I'm in there where it matters and scoring the goals."
