Banzouzi Bradley Locko (born 6 May 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Ligue 1 club Brest. [3]
Locko was born in Ivry-sur-Seine, Val-de-Marne, [4] and went through several football academies in Paris suburbs, including CA Vitry and US Ivry, before spending some years in Montrouge, from where he joined FC Lorient in 2019. [5]
Bradley signed his first professional contract with Stade de Reims in June 2020, spending his first year in Champagne with the National 2 reserve team. [5] [6] [7] [8]
He made his professional debut for Reims on 15 August 2021, starting the Ligue 1 3–3 home draw against Montpelier as a left-back. [7] [9] His performance was viewed as promising one, among a fairly young Reims team, with the likes of Ilan Kebbal and Hugo Ekitike. [10]
On 31 January 2023, Locko joined Brest on loan with an option to buy. [11] Later that year, on 27 July, Brest announced the permanent signing of Locko on a four-year contract, [12] for a reported fee of €500.000. [13] Later on, he was named in the Team of the Year for the 2023–24 season, [14] as his club secured a third-place finish in the league and first ever qualification to the UEFA Champions League. [15]
On 8 July 2024, Locko was selected by manager Thierry Henry to represent France at the 2024 Olympic Games. [16] He was a late substitute in the final, as France lost 5–3 to Spain. [17] [18] [19]
Born in France, Locko holds French and Congolese nationalities. [20] His twin brother, Bryan Locko, is also a footballer who was with him in the academy of Lorient. [21]
