Bradley signed his first professional contract with Stade de Reims in June 2020, spending his first year in Champagne with the National 2 reserve team.[3][4][5][6]

He made his professional debut for Reims on 15 August 2021, starting the Ligue 1 3–3 home draw against Montpelier as a left-back.[5][7] His performance was viewed as promising one, among a fairly young Reims team, with the likes of Ilan Kebbal and Hugo Ekitike.[8]
