Conor Bradley hopes to “keep making more memories” with Liverpool after signing a new four-year contract with the Premier League champions.

Bradley, 21, has caught the eye at right-back in Arne Slot’s debut season, which has seen the Reds romp to title glory with room to spare in the campaign.

The Merseysiders face Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night before playing host to FA Cup winners Crystal Palace at Anfield on the last day of the season on Sunday (kick-off 4pm).

Bradley is likely to start at right-back as the departing Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed by some Liverpool fans in the home draw with Arsenal following his decision to leave the club this summer when his contract expires on June 30.

Competition for shirt

Bradley is likely to face competition for the right-back slot next season, with Liverpool widely expected to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong in a £29.5m deal in the coming weeks.

But the Northern Ireland international, who has represented his country 24 times, is delighted to have secured his own long-term future at Anfield.

Proud and happy

Bradley, who has made 27 appearances in all competitions so far this season, told the club’s official website: “To sign another contract, I’m very proud and happy to see what the next steps on our journey together will be.

“You’ve just got to keep your head down and keep working hard.

“It has been a fantastic two years. Especially since coming back from loan and doing so well last year and continuing that on this year. It’s been really good.

“So, hopefully we can keep going and keep making more memories.”
