Bradley featured in all seven games during Wales’ RWC campaign, starting on three occasions.

He was captain of the Wales Under 19 side that won the 2005 Grand Slam and a year later skippered the team to sixth place in the IRB U19 World Championship in Dubai.

Bradley made his senior Wales debut as a 75th minute replacement against Scotland in 2009 in the 26-13 win – coming on for wing Shane Williams as Wales’ seventh and final replacement. He had been selected for the 2008 summer tour to South Africa only to be forced to withdraw through injury.

Domestically, Bradley graduated through the ranks of the WRU Blues Academy and Cardiff before becoming a mainstay of the Blues pack.
