Club career

Boys' Town

Bradford was awarded his first senior start a week later against F.C. Reno, scoring and having an assist in the game. Bradford was described as 'one for the future' by head coach Andrew Price. [3] Boys' Town was relegated at the end of the season, bringing an unfortunate end to Bradford's first season in Jamaica's top flight. He remained at the club after relegation, spending the 201819 season in the KSAFA Super League.

Waterhouse

Bradford was transferred to Waterhouse at the start of the 2019–20 season, making his return to the Jamaica Premier League. At Waterhouse he became a regular starter and one of their main attacking threat, scoring several crucial goals for the club. [4] [5] [6] [7] Bradford received his first taste of regional football while at Waterhouse, featuring against Arcahaie of Haiti in the 2020 CONCACAF League and then against Canadian team Pacific in the 2022 CONCACAF League. [8]

In 2022 Bradford went on a 15-day trial in Portugal at Campeonato de Portugal club Sertanense Futebol Clube. [9]

Canada

In the summer of 2023, he had a spell abroad in the Canadian Soccer League with Scarborough SC. [10] [11] He would help the eastern Toronto side win the regular season title. [12] [13]

Harbor View

Bradford was unveiled as a Harbour View player in the 2023–24 pre-season and was immediately selected for the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup squad. He scored his first brace in a regional competition at the Caribbean Cup, doing so versus S.V. Robinhood of Suriname in the group stage. [14]

International career

Bradford received his first call-up to Jamaica's national senior men's football team in November 2023 for an international friendly against Guatemala at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey. [15] He featured as a substitute coming on for Romario Williams in the 93rd minute. [16] [17]
