Bradby was born in Rugby, Warwickshire, and educated at Rugby School, where his father was a master from 1892 to 1929, as well as the house master of School Field. He was the first England international produced by the Rugby Lions, gaining two caps as a centre in the 1922 Five Nations, and also played rugby in the Royal Navy.[2] [3]
