Banzouzi Bradley Locko (born 6 May 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Ligue 1 club Brest.
Locko was born in Ivry-sur-Seine, Val-de-Marne, and went through several football academies in Paris suburbs, including CA Vitry and US Ivry, before spending some years in Montrouge, from where he joined FC Lorient in 2019.
Bradley signed his first professional contract with Stade de Reims in June 2020, spending his first year in Champagne with the National 2 reserve team.
He made his professional debut for Reims on 15 August 2021, starting the Ligue 1 3âÂÂ3 home draw against Montpelier as a left-back. His performance was viewed as promising one, among a fairly young Reims team, with the likes of Ilan Kebbal and Hugo Ekitike.
On 31 January 2023, Locko joined Brest on loan with an option to buy. Later that year, on 27 July, Brest announced the permanent signing of Locko on a four-year contract, for a reported fee of â¬500,000. Later on, he was named in the Team of the Year for the 2023âÂÂ24 season, as his club secured a third-place finish in the league and first ever qualification to the UEFA Champions League.
On 8 July 2024, Locko was selected by manager Thierry Henry to represent France at the 2024 Olympic Games. He was a late substitute in the final, as France lost 5âÂÂ3 to Spain.
Born in France, Locko holds French and Congolese nationalities. His twin brother, Bryan Locko, is also a footballer who was with him in the academy of Lorient.
