Conor Bradley is proud of his breakthrough at Liverpool.

The 18-year-old made his senior debut for Northern Ireland in May and signed a new contract with the Reds this summer, before making his first Liverpool appearance against Norwich in the Carabao Cup last month.

“I wouldn't have signed for Liverpool if I didn't think I could play for them," he said.

“From the minute I signed, I knew. I had belief in myself that I'd be able to one day pull on the shirt for the first team.

“To go on and do that after all the hard work I've put in over the last two years in Liverpool has been unbelievable and I'm just really proud.

“You just have to have confidence in yourself. There's no point in even playing football if you don't believe in yourself."

Bradley is focused on learning from Trent Alexander-Arnold and has outlined his ambitions for the next five years.

“I feel like I could do a job further forward on the wing or in midfield but I'm happy at right-back as well. Wherever they want me to play, I'll play," he told the Irish Independent.

“I'd like to be a regular for Northern Ireland, starting every game. I'll be working hard for that.

“And I'd say the same for Liverpool as well, I want to be starting or definitely in and around the first team anyway and picking up as many games as I can.

“Trent's unbelievable. He's one of the best right-backs in the world but I'll be at Liverpool as long as they want me.

“I'll keep learning off Trent and the more I can take from him and put into my game, the better a player I'll be.

“I just take it all in my stride and keep trying to work hard. I go into games just focused on the fact that I want to play well and impress the manager, Jurgen, and see where that takes me."
