Conor Bradley produced another magnificent display in Liverpool's thumping EFL cup triumph against Tottenham.
The Northern-Irishman is fast becoming one of most consistent full backs in the world, despite not starting as many games as a man of his talents may expect.
Bradley has been a part of Liverpool Football Club since he was nine years old. Despite being born and raised in Northern Ireland, Conor trained with a local Liverpool development centre, whilst also playing for his hometown side, St Patrick's.
A teenage spell at Dungannon followed before a move to Liverpool under scholarship, which resulted in a three-year professional contract.
Instant Fit
The defender made his Liverpool debut as an 18-year old in the EFL Cup, becoming the first Northern Irish to play for the Reds in just over sixty years.
He featured a further four times that season, including the FA Cup and a debut in the Champions League.
Many and especially Bolton fans, credit his League One loan at the Trotters as the main catalyst in his young career.
The defender wowed his new home following and fellow teammates alike, winning Players, Fans and Young Bolton Player of the Season.
Many current Premier League players have benefitted from similar loans including Bradley's Liverpool teammate Jarell Quansah and Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson, both of whom spent separate loan spells with Bristol Rovers.
Last season saw Bradley explode into the Liverpool picture with a string of positive performances. He played 23 times across all competitions, with his crowning moment coming after slotting home his first goal at Anfield against Chelsea.
This season, Bradley has shouldered an even greater responsibility, with nineteen appearances already. Highlights have included some superb assists and a Man of the Match performance against Real Madrid.
For his country, Bradley has captained them across multiple youth levels and made his senior captain debut at just twenty-years old.
He has played twenty-three times at his tender age and has scored four times.
Bradley has an explosive playing style, with unrivalled energy. His ability to constantly provide overlaps and options in the attack make him as key going forward as he is defensively.
His deceptive strength allows him to be firm in the tackle and his rapid speed allows him to cover if he was caught out whilst attempting to join in an attack.
Whilst essentially in competition with each other, Bradley has learned an incredible amount from experienced fellow right-back Trent Alexander Arnold, especially in those wide attacking areas.
Bradley has also began to experiment more with providing an inside overlap, allowing space for his attacking teammates and being able to carry the ball in central areas, something he did to superb effect against Spurs, sliding a fantastic pass into Dominik Szoboszlai for the third.
Conor has an interesting potential future at Liverpool with the future of Alexander-Arnold being very much up the air.
Whilst the Northern-Ireland skipper has shown no signs of being disappointed with his current role, he will no doubt have an eye on becoming a first-team regular whether the current Liverpool vice-captain leaves or not.
