Biography
Michael Bradley
Player #835 for Aston Villa, Michael Sheehan Bradley played as a midfielder for the club during the 2010-11 campaign under Gรฉrard Houllier.
Bradley was born in Princeton, New Jersey on 31 July 1987 and he made his debut appearance on Saturday, 12 February 2011 aged 23 as a 73โ substitute for Gabby Agbonlahor in Villaโs disappointing draw away to Blackpool.
Bradley had been signed by Gรฉrard Houllier on a four month loan from Borussia Mรถnchengladbach and was named in the next four successive Villa squads but made just one appearance - his only start for the club - in the 0-3 5th Round FA Cup defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday, 2 March 2011. Bradley was replaced by Ashley Young in the 71โ.
Bradley wouldnโt feature for Villa again until Houllier had departed to be replaced by caretaker boss Gary McAllister after which he would make substitute appearances in the final two games of the season, appearing in the 80โ and 89โ for Stiliyan Petrov and Ashley Young respectively as Villa beat both Arsenal and Liverpool to put a positive shine on an otherwise underwhelming campaign.
Bradley returned to Borussia Mรถnchengladbach at the end of his loan spell ahead of the 2011-12 campaign.
โI am a midfielder who likes to give everything he has for the team.โ
I can attack and defend and impose myself in the centre of the field. I will do whatever it takes to help the team be successful. When you look at football nowadays, to have midfielders who can get forward, get in the box and get goals, that's important too and I try to do that.
"I have watched all sorts of games from when I was little and watched midfielders obviously. The one I looked up to was Roy Keane and the job he did at Manchester United. The way he was able to be the engine and heart of their team and help them be successful was something to aspire to.
"You watch the Premier League games and right away the speed and power of the game comes across.
"That's what sets the Premier League apart from any other in the world.
"To be part of that and be here and test myself in that environment, will be great. In each step along the way I have tried to improve myself as a player, take something each day into the matches and work hard. Now I have to take the experience I have gained along the way and use it as I get going in England."
Michael Bradley.
