Ryan Bradley is an Irish sportsperson. He plays Gaelic football with his local club Buncrana and is a member of the Donegal senior inter-county team. Considered an underage prodigy, he has been re-born since Jim McGuinness took over as manager of Donegal.[1]
Bradley made his debut for Donegal in the National Football League in 2005 when Brian McEniff was in charge. Brian McIver brought him back into the fold for the 2007 NFL campaign when Donegal won the title. However, becoming increasingly disillusioned, he left to pursue his career in Boston. Jim McGuinness telephoned Bradley upon his appointment as Donegal manager in 2010 - “I talked to Jim once and after that conversation he had it drummed into my head. If I hadn't have come back after that phonecall I'd have been better just to give up football”.[2]
Bradley made his first Ulster Senior Football Championship start against Antrim in May 2011. He scored two points during the game and The Sunday Game gave him their man-of-the-match award. TV pundit Pat Spillane controversially claimed Bradley was "the best of a bad bunch".[2] McGuinness reacted furiously, calling Spillane's comments “way over the top”.[3] In July 2011, Bradley became the first man from Buncrana to help Donegal to an Ulster title.[2]
Bradley is married to Claire Sheerin, a cousin of Donegal teammate Michael Murphy. He is not fond of the media spotlight.[2]
