Liverpool informed the young player who had “everything” that he will eventually be a member of the first team.
Conor Bradley, a defender for Liverpool who played well on loan at Bolton Wanderers, is expected to compete with Trent Alexander-Arnold for a spot in the starting lineup.
Conor Bradley is expected to become a regular first-team player in due course, according to sources close to Liverpool.
The Northern Ireland international has played in five games for the Reds overall since joining from Dungannon Swifts in 2019. The 20-year-old’s injury has kept him from having much of an impact at Anfield this season, but last year, on loan at Bolton Wanderers, he had a breakout season, winning both the team’s Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year titles in addition to sharing the Young Player of the Year honours.
The right-back played in 53 games as the Lancashire team won the EFL Trophy and advanced to the League One playoffs. Bradley’s international teammate Dion Charles, who he played with while with the Trotters, believes the full-back will make an impact for Liverpool once he gets back to full fitness.
“Conor is amazing. Charles told BBC Sport that “he can go as far as he wants.” “That kid is so smart, so talented, and he has it all.”
“The biggest thing about his mentality is he wants to learn, he wants to get better, so when he’s back fit it will be interesting to see not if, but when, he gets in the Liverpool team.”
It’s reasonable to say that Bradley will have a difficult time competing with Trent Alexander-Arnold for the right-back spot, but Charles thinks the youthful defender can succeed in that endeavour. Bradley has already received 13 caps for his nation, and his former Bolton teammate called his absence from the next games against Northern Ireland a “big miss.”
“Conor is the kind of guy who will be around [Alexander-Arnold] all the time, rubbing elbows with him, so it can only help him in the long run,” Charles went on.
“Conor played like a 30-year-old and hadn’t played any senior football when he first arrived at Bolton. Conor performs with such experience; he is amazing.”
“It’s always great to have a player like that around us,” the Bolton striker continued. “The type of player he is, especially when he was at Bolton, when Conor is on the ball you feel like he is going to do something.”

Caoimhin Kelleher expressed his happiness following Jurgen Klopp’s decision.
Caoimhin Kelleher is thrilled that Jurgen Klopp made a choice for Liverpool this season. At Anfield, the goalie is still regarded as backup.
In 2022, Caoimhin Kelleher truly became well-known. He appeared like he would continue to improve after shining in the Carabao Cup final as Liverpool won the cup.
This followed multiple Premier League and Champions League first-team outings. Up until the previous season, everything appeared fine.
Kelleher made just three appearances during the 2022–2023 season. That was it—one in the Premier League and two in the Carabao Cup. 301 football minutes.
For the Irishman, that may be considered something of a disaster. Although he will turn 25 later this month, he is no longer a particularly young athlete, and the lack of football has caused his stock to fall.
Kelleher has benefited greatly by Liverpool’s increased usage of him this season; in fact, he is probably the key reason for their participation in the Europa League. The goalie has actually played in and appeared in more games already this season than he did the entire previous one.
It should come as no surprise that Kelleher is overjoyed that Jurgen Klopp has started him in games this year. That’s exactly what the player discussed in an interview with Liverpoolfc.com.
“I’m obviously very happy that the manager has trusted me to start the games in this competition and also getting the League Cup games so far as well,” he stated. It has benefited me and has provided me a significant amount of playing time.
Thus, Kelleher is gradually attempting to restore that reputation, and this season, she will have the opportunity to do so. It’s unknown exactly what his long-term plans are; he might like to move on the next year.
For the time being, though, he is Liverpool’s competent Europa League custodian and should be able to help the team win further cups
