Conor Bradley signs new long-term Liverpool contract – as Reds reaffirm faith in full back ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit

Liverpool full back Conor Bradley has penned a new long-term deal at the Premier League champions to underline the club’s confidence in him amid Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit.

Northern Ireland international Bradley will remain at Anfield until at least 2029 by signing a four-year extension to his current deal as a reward for two fine seasons in the first team.

Bradley joined the club from Dungannon in 2019 and then earned his first pro deal the next year. 

He spent a season on loan at Bolton — where he was voted their player of the year — before breaking through into the first team under Jurgen Klopp last season.

He has continued to go from strength to strength under Arne Slot despite some injuries and the club see him as good enough to replace outgoing Alexander-Arnold who is joining Real Madrid.

Liverpool are advancing in talks to sign Bayer Leverkusen right back Jeremie Frimpong for £29.5million but the Dutch international’s arrival will not necessarily mean he is guaranteed the starting spot.

Bradley, 21, has become a fans’ favourite this season for his tenacious style — including a memorable slide tackle on Kylian Mbappe — and the Kop is regularly heard chanting his name.
