Professional career

[edit]

Conbeer first played for Tenby RFC, before moving to Narberth RFC at U12 level.[3] While with Narberth, Conbeer was selected for Wales U16. Conbeer played for Scarlets U16, and joined the academy. He progressed into the Wales U18 side, and joined them on a tour to South Africa.[4]

Conbeer earned his first call-up to the Wales U20s squad for the 2017 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. Conbeer's debut came in a victory to Italy U20, a game in which Conbeer scored a try.[5] Over three seasons, he made 23 appearances in total for the U20 side, scoring five tries.

At age 17, Conbeer made his debut for the Scarlets in 2016 in a 44–21 victory against Bath.[3] In 2017, he graduated from the Scarlets academy and signed a development contract with the club, and began to train full time with the first team that summer.[6][4] Conbeer made his competitive debut on 24 February 2018 against Ulster, scoring a try in the bonus point win.[7]

In 2018, Conbeer was selected for Wales Sevens for the Dubai leg.[8] An injury during the tournament limited his involvement.[9]

Conbeer scored two tries in the 2019 Boxing Day derby win over the Ospreys.[10] On 14 November 2020, Conbeer scored twice as the Scarlets earned an away win in Connacht.[11] In 2022, Conbeer signed a contract extension with the Scarlets.[12] On 30 April 2022 Conbeer scored a hattrick against the Ospreys.[13]

In May 2024, the Scarlets announced that Conbeer would be released at the end of the 2023/2024 season.[14] He signed for the Ospreys on a short-term deal on the 3rd of August.[15] He scored a try on his debut in a losing effort to the Dragons.[16]
