Patrick John Bradley (born 23 April 1902) was a Scottish professional football player of the 1920s. Born in Coatbridge, his earliest known club was Wolverhampton Wanderers.[2] He made only five appearances for the club in the Football League Second Division before moving to Gillingham of the Third Division South in November 1926.[3] He was a regular in the Gills' first team for the remainder of the 1926–27 season, playing 24 games and scoring three goals, including two in a 4–4 draw with Swindon Town.[4]

The following season, however, he lost his place to new signing Enos Bromage and, despite, returning for a run of nine consecutive first team games in October and November,[4] he never made another Football League appearance for Gillingham and moved on to non-league club Walsall Wood. He later played for another minor club in the same area, Brownhills Albion.[2]
