Club career

Shrewsbury Town

Bradshaw started his career at Aberystwyth Town and was signed by Shrewsbury Town in May 2009 (Aberystwyth later received a retrospective fee of £30,000 under the FIFA training compensation scheme).[3][4] He made his debut in a League Two match against Crewe Alexandra at Gresty Road on 10 April 2010, replacing Jamie Cureton for the final 15 minutes and scoring two goals in a 3–0 win.[5] At the end of the 2009–10 season he signed a two-year professional contract.[6]

Despite scoring six goals in the 2010–11 season,[7] Bradshaw found first team opportunities more limited in 2011–12, making only 8 appearances and scoring once against Accrington Stanley.[8]

Bradshaw was handed the number nine shirt for the 2012–13 campaign, in which he made 22 appearances, mostly as a substitute, but failed to score.[9] He signed a contract extension of an undisclosed length on 23 May 2013[10] and scored his first senior goal for nearly two years in a 2–0 home win over Swindon Town on 17 August.[11]

Walsall

On 23 June 2014, Bradshaw signed a two-year contract with League One side Walsall for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £50,000, following the relegation of Shrewsbury Town to League Two.[12][13] He scored his first goal for the Saddlers on his debut for the club on 9 August 2014 against Port Vale in a 1–1 away draw.[14] Bradshaw injured his hamstring in a 1–1 draw with Bristol City on 4 October 2014,[15] which sidelined him for most of the month.[16] He also scored a last–minute equaliser in a 2–2 draw against his former side Shrewsbury in the FA Cup first round on 8 November 2014.[17] Bradshaw enjoyed a prolific start to the season and scored his tenth goal of the campaign in all competitions in a 3–1 win against Barnsley on 13 December 2014.[18]

Bradshaw scored Walsall's second goal in their 2–0 victory over Preston North End in the first leg of the Football League Trophy Northern area final on 7 January 2015.[19] He started in the final on 22 March, Walsall's first match at Wembley Stadium, a 0–2 defeat to Bristol City.[20] On 24 June, he extended his contract until the end of the 2016–17 season.[21]

Bradshaw scored his first career hat-trick on 11 August 2015 in a 4–3 win at Championship side Nottingham Forest in the first round of the League Cup, finishing with an added-time penalty.[22]

After making his international debut for Wales, and Walsall subsequently losing to Barnsley in the League One play-off semi-final, Bradshaw requested to be placed on the transfer list in July 2016.[23]

Barnsley

After his transfer request was accepted by the Saddlers, Bradshaw joined newly promoted Championship club Barnsley for an undisclosed fee on 14 July.[24] He scored his first goal for the Reds in a 4–0 win against Rotherham United on 27 August 2016.[25] He scored eight times in his first season and in 2017–18 he was the club's top scorer with 12 goals, as they were relegated.[26] On 7 April 2018, he scored a later winner in a 3–2 win over South Yorkshire rivals at Sheffield United at Oakwell; it was only his club's second win in 14 games.[27]

Millwall

On 23 August 2018, Bradshaw joined Millwall initially on loan until January, when the deal became permanent. He signed a "long-term contract" of undisclosed length, and the fee broke Millwall's record of £800,000 paid for Paul Goddard in 1989.[28] His season ended in November after ten goalless appearances, with a knee ligament injury against Brentford.[29]

Bradshaw scored his first goal for the Lions on 13 August 2019 in an EFL Cup first round game away to West Bromwich Albion, equalising in a 2–1 win.[30] Eleven days later he recorded a first league goal with his first touch after coming on, to earn a 1–1 draw at Middlesbrough.[31] In October, he scored five goals across four consecutive games, ending with both of a draw with Cardiff City at The New Den.[32]

International career

Although he was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire,[2] Bradshaw grew up in Tywyn, Gwynedd,[33] and attended Ysgol Penglais School in Aberystwyth,[34] thus qualified to play for Wales. He was called up to the Wales under−19 squad for the first time in September 2010,[35] scoring on his debut during a 2–0 win over Liechtenstein.[36] He scored again in a 3–3 draw with Turkey on 20 October 2010.[37] He was called into the Wales under−21 squad in September 2011 for the away game with Montenegro, scoring on his debut.

Bradshaw was capped eight times for the Wales U−21 squad, making his last appearance as a substitute against Moldova U−21s on 10 September 2013.[38] He opted to withdraw from the squad when called up a month later in order to remain available for first-team duties with Shrewsbury Town.[39] This effectively ended his international youth career, with under−21s manager Geraint Williams indicating he would not select him again, although Bradshaw was in any case in his last few months of eligibility for the under−21 squad.[40]

A year later, Bradshaw was put on the standby list for the senior Wales national football team for the Euro 2016 qualifying matches against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Cyprus in October 2014, but had to withdraw due to picking up a hamstring injury in a match against Bristol City for new club Walsall.[41] On 4 November 2015 he was called up to the senior squad for a friendly against the Netherlands,[42] and was an unused substitute in a 3–2 defeat.[43] He made his debut the following 28 March, replacing Tom Lawrence for the final 17 minutes of a 1–0 friendly loss to Ukraine in Kyiv.[44] Bradshaw was in Chris Coleman's provisional squad for the final tournament, but withdrew due to a calf injury.[45]
