Banzouzi Bradley Locko (born 6 May 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Ligue 1 club Brest.

Career

Bradley Locko was born in Ivry-sur-Seine and went through several football academies in Paris suburbs, including CA Vitry and US Ivry, before spending some years in Montrouge, from where he joined FC Lorient in 2019.[2]

Bradley signed his first professional contract with Stade de Reims in June 2020, spending his first year in Champagne with the National 2 reserve team.[3] [4] [5]

He made his professional debut for Reims on 15 August 2021, starting the Ligue 1 3–3 home draw against Montpelier as a left-back.[6] His performance was viewed as promising one, among a fairly young Reims team, with the likes of Ilan Kebbal and Hugo Ekitike.[7]

On 31 January 2023, Locko joined Brest on loan with an option to buy.[8] Later that year, on 27 July, Brest announced the permanent signing of Locko on a four-year contract,[9] for a reported fee of €500.000.[10] Later on, he was named in the Team of the Year for the 2023–24 season, as his club secured a third-place finish in the league and first ever qualification to the UEFA Champions League.[11]

Personal life

Born in France, Locko holds French and Congolese nationalities.[12] His twin brother, Bryan Locko, is also a footballer who was with him in the academy of Lorient.[13]
