Darren Bradley

Darren Michael Bradley (born 24 November 1965) is an English former professional footballer, who played as a midfielder for Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion and Walsall.

Darren first came to notice to Villa scouts while at secondary school in Kings Norton, before signing for the Villans as an apprentice in 1983.

Though not a prolific goalscorer, Darren is best remembered amongst West Brom fans for a spectacular 30-yard goal against archrivals Wolverhampton Wanderers, helping them to a 3–2 victory in the Black Country derby in August 1993.

After being released by manager Alan Buckley in 1995, Darren spent two years at Walsall before retiring in 1997.

Since retirement, Darren has played for Aston Villa Old Stars, a charity fund-raising football team.
