Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley has had an outstanding season with Bolton Wanderers, winning all three of the club’s Player of the Season awards. The 19-year-old Northern Irishman has made 50 appearances, scoring seven goals and assisting six, and has also established himself as Northern Ireland’s first-choice right-back.
Speaking of his success, Bradley said: “It’s been a fantastic year and one I’ve really enjoyed. I’m thankful to everyone at the club for the support they’ve given me. To win these awards is very special and a massive honour. It’s really nice to be voted for by your team-mates, as they’re the ones who see the hard work you put in, and also from the fans. Nothing would be possible without them. To put myself in the history of Bolton is a massive honour.”
Jurgen Klopp was asked about Bradley recently, saying that “the plan at the moment is to bring him back and keep him, but we will see.” He added that “everybody speaks positively about him. He is our boy, which I like a lot. A super mentality, which is extremely helpful, and all the rest will come – and we are all pretty sure about that.”
Bradley will compete with Calvin Ramsay to be Trent Alexander-Arnold’s understudy and it is expected that one of those two will head out on loan next season. The one that remains at the club could see plenty of action if Liverpool are competing in the Europa League.
