Gareth Bradshaw (born 13 February 1987) is a Gaelic footballer from Galway, Ireland who played from 2007 to 2021.[1][2]

Bradshaw played club football for Moycullen.[2] In 2007, he made his senior debut in the NFL, winning three Connacht titles that year.[3]

In 2008, he played in his first GAA Championship game in the opening round of the Connacht SFC against Roscommon.[3]

In 2013, Bradshaw acted as vice-captain to manager Alan Mulholland.[2]

Bradshaw has also played for University of Galway (NUIG).[4][5] In 2020, his NUIG team claimed their first ever County Senior Football title, beating Mountbellew-Moylough in the final.[3]

In 2021, Bradshow confirmed his retirement, following 14 years with the Galway footballers.[2] He was the longest serving member of the panel at the time.[2]

Mayo went down to NUIG in Dangan last Sunday with Galway's Gareth Bradshaw really impressing for the students who are managed by Eoin O' Donnellan again this year. Bradshaw is turning into a really top county player and it will be interesting to see where he lines out for Galway in the NFL.
