NewsWhy Conor Bradley heads into the 2025-26 season with a 'different' feeling
Liverpool's Conor Bradley heads into his third season competing in the Premier League with a 'different' feeling.
The 22-year-old boasts a winner's medal in the competition after playing his part in the Reds' title success of 2024-25, along with 30 top-flight outings across two campaigns.
With that experience behind him, Bradley is seeking to further establish himself in Arne Slot's team while on the hunt for more silverware.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after Thursday's open training session in Hong Kong, the No.84 said: "It definitely does feel different this year.
"I still know it's going to be difficult, fighting for places and things like that, with Jeremie [Frimpong] coming in. It's really good.
"I've worked hard on myself in the summer and I've come back in good shape. Looking forward to the start of the season and hopefully we'll have another good one."
New arrival Hugo Ekitike was on the sidelines to watch Bradley and his Liverpool teammates train in front of 25,000 supporters at Kai Tak Stadium.
The French striker is the seventh addition the Premier League champions have made this summer, after a deal was agreed with Eintracht Frankfurt for his transfer.
"Obviously we have brought in quite a lot of new players, which is really good and has given us a lot of strength," Bradley continued.
"Obviously the players that were here were really good as well because we just won the league last year.
"It's nice to see and it's good for us because it all makes us better and makes training higher quality. It's really good and I've really enjoyed it."
