- Christopher Konopka is an American soccer player who plays goalkeeper for Sporting Fingal F.C. in the FAI League of Ireland First Division. He signed a contract with Fingal on July 28, 2009. Konopka is of Polish descent. During 2008, he won the League of Ireland championship and the FAI Cup as a member of Bohemian FC in the FAI Premier Division. It is believed Konopka is the first American born soccer player to ever win the 'Irish Double'. Konopka grew up in Toms River, New Jersey and played both basketball and soccer at Toms River High School East. He played collegiate soccer at Providence College of the Big East Conference from 2003 to 2006. Konopka also played for Jersey Shore Boca in 2003 and the Jersey Falcons in 2004 in the USL fourth division Premier Development League. After a standout career with the Friars, Konopka was considered a top goalkeeping prospect and had trials in England after his senior year with both Charlton Athletic and Cardiff City. However, he was unable to sign in the United Kingdom after his trials when his attempted acquisition of a Polish passport through ancestry was not yet completed. He was drafted in the third round, 29th overall, by the Kansas City Wizards in 2007 MLS Supplemental Draft and became the first player in the history of Providence College to be drafted by an MLS team. Konopka is a long-time veteran of the Jersey Shore Boca Soccer Club of New Jersey and came through the Boca youth program. Konopka became a free agent at the end of the 2007 MLS season after the Wizards elected not exercise his contract option which allowed him to pursue other opportunities without any transfer fee compensation. In December 2007, Konopka was named to the US U-23 National Team player pool by US U23 Head Coach Piotr Novak. Konopka was invited into pre-season training camp with eircom League of Ireland Premier Division Club Bohemian FC in January 2008 and signed a one-year contract with the fabled Irish club in March 2008. He was given international clearance to join the "Gypsies" on 12 March 2008 and made his debut for the club in the League Cup on July 1 away to Derry City. Konopka impressed with the Bohemians' A-Side in the inaugural Eircom League of Ireland A Championship, which acts as a third tier of the Eircom League, leading the Bohs to the Grand Final.
