'I don't think I will have better night that than' - Conor Bradley names the standout moment of his breakthrough Liverpool season

Conor Bradley's head could have been left spinning from a whirlwind few months but the Liverpool and Northern Ireland youngster's feet remain firmly on the ground.

This time last year the 20-year-old was starring on loan at League One Bolton Wanderers, but since breaking into Jurgen Klopp's side before Christmas, he has turned in a string of eye-catching displays for the club he grew up supporting.

"I definitely didn't think it would go this well," Bradley said ahead of Northern Ireland's friendly against Romania on Friday. "You dream about scoring your first goal for Liverpool but never think it will come true.

But his exploits with Liverpool have seen his name go global. "I haven't really felt it to be honest," said Bradley. "I just try to keep doing the same things I was doing before.

"I am still the same person I was before. None of it has changed me so I just want to keep working hard and doing what I am doing."
