Conor Bradley signs new Liverpool contract as rising star prepares to fill Trent Alexander-Arnold’s boots at Anfield

iverpool fans have a lot to be excited about as young defender Conor Bradley commits his future to the club with a new long-term contract.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold, one of Liverpool’s iconic full backs, set to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season, Bradley’s fresh deal signals the club’s strong belief that he can step into those big shoes.

From Dungannon to Anfield: Bradley’s Rise to the First Team

Bradley’s journey to Liverpool’s starting lineup hasn’t been overnight.

The Northern Ireland international first joined the Reds from Dungannon in 2019.

He quickly impressed, earning his first professional contract a year later.

After a standout loan spell at Bolton, where he was even voted player of the year, Bradley returned to Liverpool ready to prove himself.

Under Jurgen Klopp, he began to break into the first team last season, and despite some injury setbacks, he’s shown real promise.

Now, with Arne Slot at the helm, Bradley has continued to grow, earning admiration from fans and coaches alike.

New Contract and Big Expectations for the Future

Bradley’s new four-year contract will keep him at Anfield until at least 2029 — a clear sign Liverpool see him as a key part of their future.

Speaking about signing the deal, Bradley shared his excitement: “I’m really proud and happy to keep moving forward with the club.

The past two years have been fantastic, especially after coming back from loan and establishing myself in the team.”

He also talked about what lies ahead: “I want to play even more games and, of course, win more trophies.

That’s what football is all about — success. The more trophies we win, the better for me and the whole team. I’m looking forward to making more memories here.”

Competition and Club Strategy Moving Forward

Liverpool are also in talks to bring in Bayer Leverkusen’s right back Jeremie Frimpong for a hefty £29.5 million.

But despite this move, Bradley isn’t expected to lose his spot easily.

The club values his tenacity and the energy he brings to the pitch.

Fans have already warmed to him, frequently chanting his name — especially after moments like his standout slide tackle on PSG’s Kylian Mbappe.

At just 21, Bradley’s mix of youthful energy and determination makes him an exciting player to watch as Liverpool enter a new era without Alexander-Arnold.
