Michael James Bradley (16 October 1897 – 14 July 1951) was an Irish rugby union player who played in the prop position. Bradley played club rugby with Dolphin RFC,[1] was capped 19 times for Ireland,[2] and was a member of the British Isles team that toured in 1924.
Bradley obtained his first cap for Ireland on 13 March 1920 against Wales. In 1924, he toured with a combined British Isles team in South Africa, and although didn't feature in any of the test matches, he played in a total of 13 games against other opposition during the tour.[3] In 1926, Bradley played in all four Ireland matches during the Five Nations tournament where Ireland were joint champions.
