Bradley is enjoying his early period at Wanderers after featuring heavily in the club's pre-season preparations. Bolton begin the season on the road versus Ipswich Town on Saturday.

And Bradley believes it is a move he needed to make and pick up regular minutes in men's football. He feels Bolton's style is similar to Liverpool's and he is keen to help his new side win promotion this season.

He said: “It’s been very good to be fair. I’ve really enjoyed pre-season. It’s been a good start and we’ve had some good tests in pre-season. I’ve been training with the lads and getting to know them and getting to know what Ian wants and how he wants to play. I’ve really enjoyed it and it’s been really good.”

“Yeah it probably was a big decision but it was one I felt I needed. I wanted to get out and play first team football. I couldn’t have thought of a better place to come to be honest.

"It was a massive decision. Obviously, it is not going to be easy, moving away from Liverpool and coming to Bolton. But it was one I just couldn’t wait
