Thomas William Bradshaw (born 27 July 1992) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Championship club Barnsley. He has previously played for Aberystwyth Town, Shrewsbury Town and Walsall. Born in England, he represented Wales at under−19 and under−21 level before making his senior Wales debut in March 2016.
Bradshaw started his career at Aberystwyth Town and was signed by Shrewsbury Town in May 2009 (Aberystwyth later received a retrospective fee of £30,000 under the FIFA training compensation scheme). He made his debut in a League Two match against Crewe Alexandra at Gresty Road on 10 April 2010, replacing Jamie Cureton for the final 15 minutes and scoring two goals in a 3–0 win. At the end of the 2009–10 season he signed a two-year professional contract.
Despite scoring six goals in the 2010–11 season, Bradshaw found first team opportunities more limited in 2011–12, making only 8 appearances and scoring once against Accrington Stanley.
Bradshaw was handed the number nine shirt for the 2012–13 campaign, in which he made 22 appearances, mostly as a substitute, but failed to score. He signed a contract extension of an undisclosed length on 23 May 2013 and scored his first senior goal for nearly two years in a 2–0 home win over Swindon Town on 17 August.
On 23 June 2014, Bradshaw signed a two-year contract with League One side Walsall for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £50,000, following the relegation of Shrewsbury Town to League Two. He scored his first goal for the Saddlers on his debut for the club on 9 August 2014 against Port Vale in a 1–1 away draw. Bradshaw injured his hamstring in a 1–1 draw with Bristol City on 4 October 2014, which sidelined him for most of the month. He also scored a last–minute equaliser in a 2–2 draw against his former side Shrewsbury in the FA Cup first round on 8 November 2014. Bradshaw enjoyed a prolific start to the season and scored his tenth goal of the campaign in all competitions in a 3–1 win against Barnsley on 13 December 2014.
