(with George Lewis) on 15 goals, as Southampton finished a lowly 14th. In June 1947, the Saints went to Germany where they played a "Liberation Day" match against a local side. During this tour, Bradley's drinking upset manager Dodgin; Bradley in turn complained that Dodgin's coaching methods, involving the use of a blackboard, were "too fussy". Although Bradley started the 1947–48 season in blistering form, scoring in each of the opening five matches with seven goals in all, Dodgin could not forgive what he saw as a serious flouting of club discipline and Bradley was transferred to Bolton Wanderers for a fee of £8000, plus Billy Wrigglesworth coming in the opposite direction. Bolton Wanderers At Burnden Park he finally got his chance to play in the First Division.

Despite this array of talent, Bolton struggled in the First Division, finishing each of Bradley's three seasons in the lower half of the table.

The following season, Great Yarmouth pulled off a giant-killing act, by defeating Crystal Palace of the Third Division South 1–0, with the goal being scored by Derrick Rackham in the sixth minute, before going out to Barrow in the Second Round.
