Bradley made the permanent move to Liverpool when he was 16, joining the club’s youth academy on a two-year scholarship.
But so impressive was his form, he signed professional terms with the Reds just one year into that.
His big opportunity to prove himself in senior football came with a loan move to League One side Bolton for the 2022-23 season.
In total he made 53 appearances in all competitions during his spell with Wanderers and impressively swept the club’s awards, being named the club’s Young Player, Players’ Player and Player of the Season.
“It was an unreal season, it was everything I wished for and more,” said Bradley.
“To play that many games, that is what I wanted to go and do. It toughened me up a bit and it was vital for me.”
His form did not go unnoticed by then-Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, who brought him into the first-team fold for pre-season before the 2023-24 campaign.
But little did Bradley know at the time, an even bigger chance to impress the German was soon to follow.
