An outstanding inside midfielder, Bradfield was Gold Coast's first pick in the 2020 NAB AFLW Draft – No.7 overall – after spending four years in the Suns Academy and two in the AFLW Academy.
The Southport Sharks junior made her AFLW debut in round one, 2021 and played just two games before succumbing to a devastating ACL injury. After successfully overcoming the injury, Bradfield is determined to return to the game stronger and better than ever in the 2022. Bradfield was taught by teammate Jamie Stanton at Southport State High School in 2020.
