Bradley Foster (born 5 October 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Scottish Championship club Ross County.
Foster played youth team football for Stoke City and Derby County. He played non-League football at Ilkeston Town and Nuneaton Borough, before he was signed to West Bromwich Albion to feature for the under-21 side. He played on loan at Rushall Olympic and Alvechurch. He had a short-term contract with Wrexham in December 2024 until June 2025. He joined Ross County in July 2025.
As a youth footballer, Foster spent time on the books at Stoke City and Derby County. [4] He played under Darren Wassall as a second year scholar at Derby before being moved to the under-23 squad at the end of the 2019–20 Academy season. [5] [6] He played six games in the club's UEFA Youth League run in 2019–20. [7]
After being released from Derby at the end of the 2020–21 season, Foster signed for Ilkeston of the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands on 3 October 2021. [8] On 21 November 2021, he joined Nuneaton Borough in the Southern League Premier Division Central. [9]
Foster joined West Bromwich Albion and was in goal as Richard Beale's under-21 side reached the semi-finals of the Birmingham Senior Cup in 2023. [10] He played for the Baggies in Premier League 2. [11] On 11 August 2023, he joined National League North club Rushall Olympic on a one-month loan. [10] He signed a one-year contract with West Brom in August 2023. [12] On 5 October 2023, he joined Southern League Premier Division Central side Alvechurch on a 28-day loan. [13] The loan was extended until 28 January after he kept two clean sheets in four games for the Cherries. [14] He departed The Hawthorns at the end of the 2023–24 season. [15]
On 7 December 2024, Foster signed with EFL League One club Wrexham on a short-term deal following injuries to Arthur Okonkwo and Callum Burton, with manager Phil Parkinson feeling that youth goalkeeper Liam Hall was too inexperienced. [4] [16] He made his debut for the Red Dragons three days later, in an EFL Trophy match against Crewe Alexandra, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 win at the Racecourse Ground and being voted as man of the match by Wrexham fans. [17] He then signed a contract to run until the end of the 2024–25 season, with the option of an additional year. [18] He departed the club upon the expiration of his contract as Parkinson could only name a 25-man squad in the Championship. [19] [20]
Foster began training with Port Vale in June 2025. [21] On 3 July, he signed with Scottish Championship club Ross County. [22]
