Conor Bradley names moment he thought Liverpool were “done” with him

2024 has been a special year for Liverpool’s Conor Bradley and the Northern Ireland star has picked out the moment when he thought his career at the Merseyside club was “done”.

The right-back has been at Anfield since 2019 when he joined Liverpool’s youth academy but had to wait until January 2024 to make his Premier League debut for the first team in a 4-0 win over Bournemouth.

Injury issues for Trent Alexander-Arnold would allow Bradley to make 23 appearances for the Reds throughout the 2023/24 campaign, with Jurgen Klopp having full faith in the 21-year-old. The right-back impressed massively, registering one goal and six assists along the way.

The defender has now become part of Arne Slot’s plans at Liverpool and although the youngster is still a deputy to Alexander-Arnold, the Dutch coach will offer him opportunities.

His performances throughout 2024 resulted in Bradley captaining Northern Ireland for the first time during the most recent international break with the rest of the season having a lot of potential for the full-back.

All this would not have happened if he hadn’t gained valuable experience on loan at Bolton during the 2022/23 season, where Bradley was voted as Bolton Wanderers’ Player of the Year for his performances.

The Liverpool star will now be thankful for his time at the League One club but back then, he thought it was the end of his career at Anfield.
