Michael Bradley (born 1994) is an Irish hurler who plays for Antrim Senior Championship club St. John's and at inter-county level with the Antrim senior hurling team. He usually lines out as a midfielder or at wing-forward.

Career

A member of the St. John's club in Belfast, Bradley first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Antrim minor team during the 2012 Ulster Minor Championship.[1] He later won consecutive Ulster Under-21 Championship titles and came on as a substitute in Antrim's 2013 All-Ireland final defeat by Clare.[2] Bradley joined the Antrim senior hurling team straight out of the minor grade and won two Ulster Championship titles over the following few years before leaving the team.[3] He was recalled to the team shortly afterwards and was at midfield for Antrim's 2020 Joe McDonagh Cup triumph.[4]
