Bradley played 76 minutes of Northern Ireland’s victory in Luxembourg in what was his first start this season for club or country as he works his way back to full fitness following an injury sustained in pre-season.

Up next for the 22-year-old and NI is a trip to Cologne to take on Germany, who were stunned by Slovakia in their opening game.
