Conor Bradley Adjudged Liverpool's Men's Player Of The Month For January

Academy graduate Conor Bradley has been named Liverpool’s Standard Chartered Men’s Player of the Month for January.

The 20-year-old featured in six games last month, scoring one goal and providing five assists across all competitions. He put up a Player of the Match-winning display in the 4-1 victory over Chelsea at Anfield.

Bradley was presented with the award for the first time today, having beaten off competition from Diogo Jota and Joe Gomez who finished second and third respectively in the poll of supporters.

Upon receiving the accolade at the AXA Training Centre, he told Liverpoolfc.com: “Thank you, it’s a privilege. Obviously it’s been a good month for me, it’s been a good couple of games and yeah, I’m just very happy to win it. As I say, it’s a privilege.

“It means a bit more [being voted for by the fans]. Obviously from the Chelsea game, hearing my name get sung out was probably the most special moment of my life, to be honest, because I have supported the club all my life.

“But yeah, it coming from the supporters as well, I can’t thank them enough for the support they have given me.”

“No, it doesn’t, to be fair!” the Northern Ireland, who also won LFC Goal of the Month for January, replied.

“I just felt like I was in a dream the whole game. It was pretty mental and it just felt like nothing could go wrong for me, so yeah, I just want to keep working hard now, though, and hopefully focus on the next game and see where it takes us.”

Bradley returned to full training with Liverpool on Tuesday after a period of compassionate leave following the passing of his father.

“Definitely, I just want to pick up where I left off,” he stated.

“I just want to keep trying to play as well as I can for the team and help the team as much as I can, so hopefully I can pick up with that on Saturday and see what happens.”
