Liverpool FC have officially confirmed that 21-year-old right-back Conor Bradley has signed a new long-term contract, further extending his commitment to the club he joined as a teenager in 2019.
Having arrived from Dungannon United at just 16, Bradley’s progression through the Anfield ranks has been steady and impressive. Now, as the club undergoes a key transitional phase under new manager Arne Slot, Bradley is set to be a vital component in Liverpool’s future defensive plans.
Right-back shake-up as Trent Alexander-Arnold exits
The news comes at a pivotal moment for the Reds, with long-serving right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold confirmed to leave for Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer. The England international’s departure marks the end of an era, and Slot is swiftly moving to reshape his backline.
Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly close to sealing a move to Anfield, with Liverpool prepared to activate his £29.5 million release clause. While Frimpong is expected to slot in as first-choice, Bradley remains a key asset and will provide depth and competition for the role.
Bradley eyes more trophies and opportunities
Fresh from a season in which he made 27 appearances and helped Liverpool secure their record-equaling 20th league title, Bradley is eager to continue building his legacy.
To sign another contract, I'm very proud and happy to see what the next steps on our journey together will be, Bradley told Liverpool's official website.
You've just got to keep your head down and keep working hard. It has been a fantastic two years with the senior team.
Following a successful loan spell at Bolton Wanderers, where he won the EFL Trophy and was named both Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year, Bradley has firmly established himself in Liverpool’s first-team plans.
He added: To play even more games but also to win more trophies. I think the whole point of playing football is obviously to win trophies and be successful.
A bright future under Arne Slot
With Slot aiming to build on a sensational debut campaign, Bradley is poised to play a crucial role in the club’s next chapter. His hunger for silverware and steady development signal a promising future at Anfield.
