Michael Bradley (born July 31, 1987 in Princeton, New Jersey) is an American soccer player, who currently plays midfielder for the SC Heerenveen of Dutch Eredivisie.

With his father, Bob Bradley, in charge of the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer, Bradley lived in Palatine, Illinois. He then moved to the Bradenton Academy, the United States's dedicated facility in Florida for the training of its Under-17 national team for four semesters, from the Fall of 2002 to the Spring of 2004.

Before leaving Bradenton, Bradley signed a Project-40 contract with MLS, turning professional at the age of 16, and entering the 2004 MLS SuperDraft. In the draft, Michael Bradley was selected 36th overall by the MetroStars, which at the time was coached by his father.

Michael Bradley did not see any playing time in his rookie 2004 season, missing a lot of time with injury, but gained a starting spot in 2005. His first professional goal was a playoff-clincher in the Metros' 2-0 win at Chivas USA, coming less than two weeks after his father was fired as the Metro head coach.

In January 2006, Bradley became the youngest MLS player ever to be sold, when he was transferred to Heerenveen.
