Liverpool star Conor Bradley is mourning the death of his father.

The news emerged on Saturday afternoon - less than three days after the Tyrone-born full-back’s player of the match performance against Chelsea.

Joe Bradley passed away on Saturday morning.

Liverpool fans’ group Anfield Edition sent its condolences.

It said: “Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Conor”.

It added: “At least Conor Bradley’s dad got to see him on the main stage, scoring at Anfield in a Premier League game. He saw you achieve your dreams, Conor.”

Bradley, who has broken into the Liverpool first team in recent months, is originally from Aghyaran in west Tyrone.

The 20-year-old is the first Northern Ireland-born player in 70 years to score for Liverpool in England's top flight.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp called him a "such a good footballer".

On Wednesday night, Bradley had starred in Liverpool’s 4-1 win against Chelsea at Anfield.

He scored his first Reds’ goal, as well as providing two assists.
