Having enjoyed his first taste of senior football with Liverpool last season, Conor Bradley is currently thriving on loan at Bolton Wanderers.
Joining the League One side in June, the 19-year-old is already a firm fan favourite and has wasted no time in making an impact at the University of Bolton Stadium. Playing six times in the opening month of the season for Ian Evatt’s side, where he is utilised as a right wing-back as part of a five-man defence, he’s returned two goals and two assists, including a spectacular long-range effort against Salford City.
Essentially just picking up where he left off with Barry Lewtas’ Under-23s at the Reds’ Academy last year, from the outside looking in it has been a seamless adjustment for Bradley. Yet the Northern Ireland international admits his first taste of regular senior football has been an eye-opening experience.
