Biography: early years
Thomas William Bradshaw was born on July 27, 1992 in Shrewsbury - the main city of the English county of Shropshire. The family soon moved to neighboring Wales. In this small country, Tom spent his childhood and adolescence, where he developed a love for football. Despite being born in England, he later decided to play for the Welsh national team.
The family was based in the town of Aberystwyth, in the west of Wales. Tom started playing football at the age of six. His parents took him to the academy at the local club, Aberystwyth Town. The team is currently playing in the Wales premiere. At that time, the club was considered one of the strongest, and getting into its famous academy was for the guys for happiness, since this was preceded by a strict selection. Tom passed it easily.

Career
At the age of 16, Tom was put in the main team. He made his Welsh Premier League debut in 2008. He played only four games that season, but managed to score two goals. For an underage debutant footballer, this is an excellent result.

In 2014, Bradshaw changed clubs to become a Walsall player. He left Shrewsbury Town after being relegated from the First League. He stayed at the new club for two seasons. When Walsall didn't make it to the Premier League, Tom asked management to put him on a transfer.
In the summer of 2016, Bradshaw joined Barnsley, who play in England's second-biggest league, the Championship. A contract has been signed with Tom until the end of the 2018/2019 season. As of October 2019, Bradshaw has played 76 matches for the club, scoring 16 goals.
