Bradbury made the move back from Bristol Bears whom he joined in 2022. The back-row previously spent eight years in the Scottish capital, a period in which he developed from academy graduate to the club’s 36^th centurion.

The number 8 picked up Bristol Bears Players’ Player of the Season in his debut campaign and has was a constant for the West Country club since making the move to Ashton Gate two years ago.

A product of Oban Lorne, Merchiston Castle School and the club’s academy system, Bradbury represented Edinburgh at U18 level and the national side at every age-grade.

The ferocious ball carrier made his Edinburgh debut against Leinster in October 2014 before bursting onto the scene in 2016/17 as he started 21 out of 23 games played.

Bradbury was rewarded for impressive club form with his first international cap in November 2016, making his Scotland debut at blindside flanker in the home Autumn Test victory over Argentina at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

Bradbury was a try-scorer in Scotland’s remarkable 38-38 draw against England at Twickenham in the 2019 Six Nations before being called into the Rugby World Cup squad for Japan where he impressed throughout the tournament.

The number 8 made his 100^th Edinburgh appearance against Benetton in December 2021 where he was able to pay tribute to his grassroots team, Oban Lorne RFC, on Club Appreciation Night.
