Conor Bradley has said he wants to play more after outgoing right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold’s immediate replacement at Liverpool signed a four-year contract extension to keep him at the club until 2029.
Out-of-contract Alexander-Arnold announced on May 5 that he will end his 20-year association with the Premier League champions at the end of the season, with the 26-year-old expected to join Real Madrid before the start of their Club World Cup campaign on June 18.
Northern Ireland captain Bradley, 21, made his full Liverpool in January 2024 but has missed 15 games through injury in all competitions this season has made only four league starts for the champions this season before Alexander-Arnold revealed he would be leaving.

He has made 27 Liverpool appearances this season ahead of their final two games, with three of his five starts coming since Alexander-Arnold said he would be leaving.
Trent Alexander-Arnold: Bradley to ‘step up’?
Alexander-Arnold is a vastly experienced figure to replace, having won a haul of trophies including the 2018/19 Champions League, the 2019/20 Premier League and the 2021/2022 FA Cup alongside two EFL Cup titles.
“A good human being is leaving the club and a very, very good full-back,” said Slot, speaking after Alexander-Arnold’s decision became public.
“I’ve worked at clubs where multiple very good players have left the club, so I’m a bit more used to it. The next very good player will step up – that’s probably what will happen now.”
When did Liverpool win the title?
The Reds entered their game against Tottenham on April 27 knowing they needed a point to match Manchester United’s record of 20 English title wins.
There was an element of early doubt for Slot’s side when Dominic Solanke powered Tottenham into a 12th-minute lead, but Luis Diaz quickly restored parity four minutes later.
Aided by an error-strewn Tottenham display, Liverpool then took command as Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo goals gave them a 3-1 half-time lead.
Top scorer Mohamed Salah scored a trademark fourth to put the game beyond any doubt, with an own goal from Destiny Udogie completing the scoring.
