A Shrewsbury-born forward who signed for Manchester United at Under-14s level, Louie Bradbury penned his scholarship with the club in 2025.

That landmark came after he made five appearances for the Under-18s during the 2024/25 season, debuting for Adam Lawrence’s side as a late substitution in the FA Youth Cup fourth-round victory over Preston North End on 17 January. Bradbury later featured in both the U18 Premier League and the respective cup competition, netting his first goal at that level on his first start, against Wolves on 18 February. Having also represented Wales at U17 level, he will now be a full part of United’s U18s set-up, under Darren Fletcher’s guidance, for the 2025/26 campaign.
